We used to wonder what to do with by-products of expensive editioning projects, like used backing sheets of fine art paper, and unused inks and paints…\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The solution of what to do with them was easier than we thought. Through the help of a friend, we were able to reach out to teachers and donate them to our local schools!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Over the past 5 years Intaglio Editions LLC has donated thousands of dollars worth of gently used Stonehenge 250 gsm, 100% cotton rag paper to classrooms around Colorado. This paper is a something we use as backing sheets when printing photogravure prints. After they have gone through the press a few times, the paper fibers have been pressed down to the point where the paper starts to crack under pressure, so they are no longer usable to us.<\/h1>\n

Our annual donation of quality art paper gives students the opportunity to work with professional art materials, often for the first time. Colorado schools benefiting include: Mapleton Expeditionary School of the Arts (MESA) (public high school grades 9-12), Mapleton Public Schools #1. Thanks to art teacher Erica Wernsmann-Loppnow<\/span><\/a><\/strong> (Mapleton\/MESA), and Silverthorn Elementary teacher Katie Irvin<\/a> <\/strong>for sharing their stories and student’s exceptional artwork, below.<\/p>\n

Do you have surplus paper or fine art materials to donate to art students in Colorado?\u00a0 Please contact them directly using the links above, or let us know!<\/strong><\/p>\n

“[We teach] a mix of student work, ink, gelli print, paper weaving, watercolor, pencil. We really try it all and encourage experimentation and complexity and pushing the capabilities of materials.” – Erica Wensmann-Loppnow<\/h1>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a> “<\/strong>The paper you have given us is so lovely. I really does elevate their work it’s a great opportunity to talk to kids about reusing as well as quality of paper and what we use it for”<\/strong><\/h1>\n

– Katy Irvin, <\/strong>Art Teacher, Silverthorne Elementary School, Summit, CO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> “[From the paper donations] we use every piece, nothing is wasted. And kids definitely feel the difference using high quality paper.” – <\/strong>Erica Wensmann-Loppnow<\/p>\n

\"\"Have quality art supplies to donate as well?\u00a0 Contact your local elementary school or contact the school board to ask about what donations are needed in your area.\u00a0 New or gently used art paper, canvas, and non-toxic paints are usually welcomed.
