    Last week I had the great pleasure of speaking with the students of Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia on pigments and the newest colours in the Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Colour range.  

    The studio is modeled on both the traditional Italian art accademia and the French atelier and was founded by the late, world-renowned portraitist Nelson Shanks.  I was joined by @erinkeenan whose work developed the Winsor & Newton Residency at the Academy of which Nelson’s daughter Annalisa Shanks is the first recipient.  @duaneromanell and @mariagottfried were also on hand to capture footage of Annalisa at work in her studio.

    Une belle chaîne de solidarité : 80 kg de produits collectés pour l’épicerie solidaire “La Petite Boutique”

    Quand une ancienne collègue partie en retraite frappe à la porte pour soutenir une cause locale, toute une entreprise se met en mouvement. C’est exactement ce qui s’est passé lorsque Patricia Chartrain, aujourd’hui bénévole au centre social La Maison des Projets et ancienne salariée de COLART, nous a sollicités pour accompagner l’épicerie solidaire La Petite Boutique, située à Ballon-Saint-Mars.

    Durant une semaine sur octobre, les collaborateurs COLART se sont mobilisés autour de cette collecte. Leur générosité a permis de réunir près de 80 kg de produits variés et de qualité, comprenant notamment des produits d’hygiène, d’entretien ainsi que des conserves de viande destinées aux familles accompagnées.

    La Petite Boutique accueille chaque semaine près de 100 familles et distribue plus de 30 tonnes de denrées par an. Au-delà de l’aide alimentaire, elle représente un véritable lieu de lien social et de soutien pour les habitants du territoire.

    Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont participé. Votre engagement illustre ce qui fait la force de notre entreprise: un esprit d’entraide qui ne se limite pas à nos murs, mais rayonne bien au-delà.

    A look back at the success of Charbonnel x Ateliers Moret Day: a lively journey between the wall and the printing press.Throughout this Open Day, a large audience of curious art lovers, regulars and newcomers gathered at the Charbonnel boutique to discover the journey of the print: from its exhibition on the walls of Charbonnel to its production in the famous Moret workshops.

    Visitors were able to go behind the scenes of the engraving process, which is very rarely open to the public, and discover the techniques, tools and Charbonnel inks used, as well as the printing process, and leave with their own print as a souvenir!

    This event demonstrates how essential such moments are to keeping the art of engraving alive and passing it on, a craft whose technical richness and poetry continue to inspire fascination and enthusiasm, increasingly among young people.

    A big thank you to all those who contributed to the success of this event and once again helped to showcase the power and modernity of engraving.

    Retour sur le succès de la Journée Charbonnel x Ateliers Moret : un parcours vivant entre le mur et la presse

    Tout au long de cette journée Portes Ouvertes, un large public, curieux, amateurs d’art, habitués et nouveaux venus, s’est agglutiné à la boutique Charbonnel pour découvrir le parcours de l’estampe : de son exposition sur les murs de Charbonnel à sa fabrication dans les fameux ateliers Moret.

    Les visiteurs ont pu entrer dans les coulisses de la gravure, très rarement ouvertes au public, et ainsi découvrir  les techniques, les outils employés, les encres Charbonnel en utilisation, le processus d’impression à la presse et repartir avec leur estampe en souvenir !

    Ce rendez-vous démontre combien ces moments sont essentiels pour faire vivre et transmettre l’art de la gravure, un métier dont la richesse technique et la poésie continuent de susciter fascination et enthousiasme et de plus en plus auprès des jeunes.

    Un grand merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont contribué à la réussite de cet événement et ont permis, une fois encore, de montrer la force et la modernité de la gravure.

    We\’re excited to share Feel-good gifting with Winsor & Newton, our annual gifting campaign that launched last week.

These will be promoted throughout our 12 Days of Gifting, with tags included in all DTC orders during this period, we\’ll also be supporting our charity partner, Hospital Rooms, through donations over this period.

     

    Thanks to everyone involved in bringing this campaign to life.
