Pacific Art League
The Pacific Art League of Palo Alto was founded in 1921 as the Palo Alto Art Club by a widely talented group of people who recognized a need to meet other artists, to work together, and to discuss and critique each other's works. The Club first met in members' homes and then moved into a new wing of the Palo Alto Library. It was there that classes were first held, meeting weekly for sketching portraits from live models. In 1939 the Club became a nonprofit membership corporation and bought the Melville building. Again seeking space to accommodate its membership of over 800, the Palo Alto Art Club in 1965 purchased the building at 668 Ramona Street, the present home of the Art League. A Palo Alto landmark built in 1926; this building was originally Winsor's Cabinet Shop. In December 1984, the increase in classes and membership participation, along with the expanded regional exposure created by Pacific Prints, provided the impetus for the Club to change its name to The Pacific Art League of Palo Alto.
These black photo corners are tops. I've used them on hundreds of photos and they work best regardless of whether applied to card stock or old fashioned construction paper type album pages.
I really like the texture of the paint. It's thick, easy to work with, and covers great. I see why many professionals use these paints... I really like them.....
This is a great product for the price. After experimenting with various Thai and Japanese Kozo (mulberry) papers, I've found this paper to be versatile using wet and dry mediums as well as printmaking techniques, namely block printing and lithography. This paper has two outstanding qualities as a Kozo -1) It's large, and 2)It's extremely durable. It can withstand repeated wet applications without falling apart easily. This paper has the translucent quality and texture of other machine-made Kozo paper that costs much more. Excellent value here.
