Gamblin is committed to reducing the use of plastic and unnecessary packaging wherever they can. They designed this set without plastic shrink-wrap. The sleeve and insert are recyclable, and the structure of the packaging has a function; it’s a primed panel made in Oregon by our friends at American Easel. It’s the ideal painting surface made with U.S.-grown poplar sides and a Baltic birch face. Considering the sourcing and complexity of the project, Gamblin is introducing the Reclaimed Colors as a Limited Edition set. If you would like to further support this important work, tax-deductible donations can be made to the John Sabraw Fund for Art and Innovation at Ohio University.
