Catalyst brushes

Catalyst Blades

Here at Art Materials we are really excited to welcome Princeton's new brush the Catalyst silicone brush series. Designed for use with heavy-bodied paints, Catalyst is at home with oils, acrylics, and water-miscible oils. Because they are heat-resistant, they excel with encaustics. Artists are using them with plaster, clay, and even frosting. Made of FDA-approved silicone, Catalyst Blades and Wedges are great for food crafting.

 Not quite a brush. Not quite a palette knife. Catalyst tools are crafted from flexible silicone to allow artists a new form of expression. Available in two unique styles: Catalyst Wedges are ergonomically designed to fit in your hand allowing a direct interaction with your work. Catalyst Blades are mounted on artist brush handles offering a blend of tradition and innovation.

Bristle Magic

Bristle Magic is a miracle product  and sells like crazy when your retail staff points out the “Magic” to customers buying brushes and paints. They will thank you! Check out this short video to see how Bristle Magic completely disintegrates oil paint off a brush!
