Dryden Art and Canvas Keepers - Organization for Artists


By: Jerry's Blog Squad March 14, 2012 03:30

The ultimate organizer for studios, classrooms, galleries, museums and more!

Disorganized artists, rejoice! After a long wait, the new Dryden Art and Canvas Keepers are finally here — so it's time to get those half-finished paintings and raw canvas off the ground and into one of these unique new art storage units! (Read on below to find out how you could win one for yourself!)

Designed by Mack Dryden for his artist wife Teri, the Dryden Art and Canvas Keepers were developed to solve the artist's age-old problem of "What do I do with all this stuff??" We've all been there — our studios are full of canvas, drawing pads, boards and more, whether fresh and unpainted, finished or in progress — and organization is a nightmare. But no longer! These innovative storage units are the perfect solution for keeping all our canvases, frames and art safe, organized and accessible.

Made from durable, lightweight enameled steel, Dryden Art and Canvas Keepers are available in two models: the larger Floor Model with casters and a handle for easy mobility, and the smaller Table Model that includes a wall mount for even more storage possibilities. Capable of storing anything from canvas and board to framed art, drawing pads, panels, mat board — just about anything that is flat and rigid — the vertical storage design of the Art and Canvas Keepers means that anything placed within them can be easily accessed without disarranging everything else. Not to mention, the Table Model can be quickly removed from the wall mount and placed within a car for easy transport of art to classes, fairs and shows!

Curious about this revolutionary art supplies organizer? Watch the video below from Mack and Teri Dryden to learn more!

Of course, here at Jerry's Artarama we have a ton of other storage solutions for the organizationally-challenged artist. Whether you're looking for art studio furniture, taborets, print racks, archival storage and more, we've got everything you need to turn your cluttered studio into an organization miracle in no time! In fact, we're running a contest to promote exactly that: the Sloppy Studio Contest!

Click on the image above for details on how you can win a new Dryden Art and Canvas Keeper or more prizes simply by tidying up your artistic space! Starting today, March 14th, and running through April 22nd, this contest is your chance to redo your entire studio. Take some before and after pics and get a head start on your spring cleaning — and tell us all about it in the comments below!

Blog Hop your way for chance to win

Artful Gathering Event Registration is Open!
I'm the Spotlight Artist for The Artful Gathering Blog Hop! Follow along with me for fun, creativity, and a chance to win a $200.00 e-gift card from Jerry's Artarama!
This summer I will be teaching a fabulous premiere video workshop at The Artful Gathering Online Art Retreat 2012
Soldering Flambé
From July 15 to August 25
You’ve heard of soldering with a torch, but it seems a little scary. Maybe even a little intimidating. Kecia has heard all the reasons that you might not be sure you are ready to try it. She's here to tell you it is easy, and that once you’ve been taught the correct way to do it, there’ll be no stopping you!
You will start from the beginning and learn how to operate the torch. From there it’ll be step by step, trouble shooting and learning the ins and outs of bringing solder to metal. After you learn how to operate your torch, you will practice bringing solder to your metal to build a background. From there you will be adding a bezel to your soldered metal to create a focal point. Once the focal point is set, you will add more layers and texture to the bezel by adding papers and dimensional items.
Then... Kecia will walk you through all aspects of using resin. Resin is another product that tends to “scare” people. Following her tips and advice, you will master resin easily. Kecia is an expert on the topic of resin - so take advantage of her knowledge!
Finally, you create a necklace for your newly, handmade, forged pendant! Kecia will discuss a few ways to build a chain using her own methods of creating with vintage, deconstructed elements. You’ll find that you’ll be learning quite a few different techniques all wrapped up in one class and what you’ll take away is the ability to create unique, funky, one of a kind soldered elements that can be used in jewelry (think pendants, bracelets, earrings....), bookmaking and more.
Come Hop With US!
