035: At The Ink Pad with Anna & Barbara

  I'm delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!  We have two guests today, Anna Chiang and Barbara Briskin: Barbara (on the left) is the long-time store manager of The Ink Pad, a rubber stamp store in NYC.   Anna (on the right) is the store owner.  You can read all about the store in this article from The New York Times. Here is a peek at some of Barbara's artwork: And this is Anna's artwork: And finally, here are some photos they sent me of classes at The Ink Pad's weekend classroom space: The Westbeth Community Center. If classes at The Ink Pad at Westbeth look like awesome fun to you, a quick reminder that I am teaching two classes there in September. And finally here is a photo from a class inside the store itself: On the podcast we discuss art & eye diseases - specifically cataracts, how Anna and Barbara met, current trends in the mixed media/craft/rubber stamping world, how they choose product for the store, whether owning/running a store kills your desire to create, and so much more!  We hope you'll add your voice to the conversation by leaving a comment or a question!
