✨ A look back at the IF illustration festival organised by Kiblind ✨

A unique event that highlights the freedom, joy and audacity of today’s artists.

Together with Lefranc Bourgeois and Conté in Paris, we are proud to have supported the festival through workshops and meetings.

At the ‘Le kiosque à couleurs’ stand, the public was invited to try their hand at painting or drawing the first lines of a sketch.

Thank you to Kiblind, the teams and the public for making this event such a rich and lively experience!

On September 24th, the Global Ecommerce team had the opportunity to attend the Ecommerce Expo at ExceL London. It was a fantastic day of learning, networking, and inspiration—bringing together leaders and innovators across the industry.

From exploring the latest trends in ecommerce and customer experience to diving into the future of AI, data, and omnichannel strategies, the event sparked great conversations and ideas we’re excited to bring back into our work at Colart.

Most importantly, it was a valuable chance for our team to come together, learn as a group, and share perspectives on how we can continue to grow and strengthen our ecommerce journey globally.

We left the Expo energized and full of new ideas—and look forward to putting this knowledge into practice as we drive our next phase of growth.

Great to receive Cass store staff at the hub today. We run a regular online training programme with Cass staff across the UK, where I train on the usp of our materials and the relevance of our historical brands today. Cass employ artists and graduates to work in their stores recognising the knowledge and experience they have in selling materials from their own practice. It is therefore a welcome opportunity to show them, in depth, the art and science behind all of our brands. Having already seeded flashe as a very unique material in previous presentations on colour, I was delighted they requested todays session focus on this. In two rotating groups we looked at the history of colour and colourmaking and modern methodologies. Big thanks to Mark Cann and Franceska LIberman for all their help.
