At NAMTA this year, the Princeton booth was buzzing with the news of the new Catalyst line of Blades, Wedges, and Polytip™ Bristle. The full range is incorporated in a stunning 48″ retail cabinet that was awarded best POP display at the show.
Designed to move more heavy-bodied paint, Catalyst Blades, Wedges, and Brushes offer fresh new way for artists to interact with many creative mediums. The tools, made of heat resistant silicone, can be used with encaustics, oils, acrylics, and even in food crafting. Catalyst Blades are mounted on artist brush handles, offering a blend of tradition and innovation. Catalyst Wedges are ergonomically designed to fit in your hand allowing a direct interaction with your work.
Polytip Bristle is a true first in artist brushes. The tip of each individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. Unlike natural hog bristle, Catalyst™ synthetic has real integrity in water. Designed for use with heavy-bodied paint, they are the brush equivalent of the Blades and Wedges.
The “The second I saw Catalyst, I knew Princeton had developed something truly groundbreaking.” says Virginia Cofer, Princeton’s new Catalyst Product Manager. “Every artist who has seen or touched Catalyst experiences their imagination taking over and they can’t wait to use them.”
The silicone tools feature easy clean-up. Dried paint can be peeled off. They are solvent-safe. Catalyst Blades can be separated from their wood handles for even easier cleaning.
The Princeton Catalyst line was previewed at the Creativeworld Show in Frankfurt this year where it won a product innovation award.
Catalyst Blades come in 6 shapes, each in three sizes. Wedges are available in 6 shapes as well. Catalyst Polytip Bristle comes in a wide range of sizes and shapes including short filberts and extra long egberts.
