Announcing our final sponsor, a local treasure, Atlas Stationers. This store is only a few blocks away from our Sketch Seminar hub. Grab a coupon for $10 off of $50 at the Seminar Registration table.

Stop in to Atlas and get a standard convertor for the @fabercastellusa fountain pen that is in every goody bag. Atlas generously donated 8 bottles of Iroshizuku inks, 36 standard convertors for the Faber Castell fountain pens, and 36 Pelikanos with convertors for the “Fountain Pen World“ workshop.

We are very excited to welcome back da Vinci Artist Brushes as a Sponsor for our 2019 Sketch Seminar May 31-June 2. They created their Casaneo brush series specifically with Urban Sketchers in mind. The short handle fits nicely into sketch kits and the synthetic fibers were developed for great flow and precision painting. The brushes are extremely reliable and hold their shape over time. They are providing a Casaneo Round size 6 brushes for each goody bag. These brushes will be put to use by all of our workshops that will be painting. We cant wait to share your high quality products with our sketch participants! You can find some great information on all of their brushes on their facebook page and on their website. Thank you da Vinci for your valued Sponsorship and support of USk Chicago!
