An Evening with the Escoda Family - Brush Makers





On Wednesday, August 31st our representatives from Global Art Supplies
joined the Escoda Family - to present a hand made brush demonstration.

IT WAS FANTASTIC!

We started with a movie that told us the history of this
remarkable family of artisans. We also learned about the
factory in Spain and their staff.



Our guest of honor (the Senior) Ricard - in the wings...


  
(Nephew) Ricard gave us so much information about
the brush hair and handle.  We learned about their
exclusive TRIPLE CRIMP on the brush ferrule and
how the different hairs of brushes and their different
shapes - hold water differently.


Working and chatting Ricard was so charming!


Different "heads" on different brushes.


This was shaping a flat brush.


We had a large group of very interested and pleased customers
that sat around with our guests and had quite interesting conversation.

THE ESCODA COMPANY KINDLY GAVE 2 RAFFLES TO
GUESTS CHOSEN FROM THEIR AUDIENCE.

Thank you to Pat R, Stan, Ricard and Ricard and of course...
THANK YOU OUR CUSTOMERS
