Raw Ingredients

5/6/2022

You will have read on the home page of our website that we are currently unable to supply some of our colours because we cannot source the raw materials needed to make these colours. We have this in common with many manufacturers at the moment as movement of goods around the world is disrupted by unexpected circumstances. In the last twelve months these have included COVID, the ship blocking the Suez canal and recently the war in Ukraine. We are limited in where we can source the materials we need and cannot influence the time it takes for supplies to reach us. It is very frustrating and we wish we could speed it all up to get back to normal.
It's particularly worrying as a few years ago we rarely had supply issues and goods travelled long distances across continents with minimal problems. Lead times were days not months and suppliers were reliable. All that has changed and now we have lead times of weeks if not months for certain products. We are very sorry if this leads to issues for customers and please understand we are doing all we can to make the full range of colours available to you .

Using Time Well

The lock down isn't really ideal for anyone, is it, but it is possible to use the home time to do some of those things you're always meaning to do but never seem to have time for. We've been busy in the studio making samples and updating some of our social media. Follow us on Instagram if you'd like to get some inspo direct from the studio.
Here's a bold black and yellow fabric design to get you started.

 In these strange times it's important to focus on the positives. If you're at home you may have time to  do some additional designing or crafting,  for example.  We hope you're safe and well.
Here's a picture of a fun dog we designed to go onto a T shirt, in Colourist Super Black.

​We're looking forward to seeing many of you are Stamperama in Stevenage on Sunday 11 August. Colourist paints are being demonstrated on the Craftascope stand where the very talented Nick Roberts will be making all kinds of inspired items using his own range of stamps and stencils using the paints too. The paints will be available to buy so make sure you get there early!

And two days later Nick is doing shows on TV channel Hochanda again demonstrating the paints. We've been able to make a greater range of colours this time - 16 colours plus Colourist Thickener and Colourist Pre-Fixer. Tons of new ideas for using the paints will be featured and then you can order products direct from the show.
