ART:21 VIDEOS
Here is an amazing documentary series on artists that PBS has produced. We remember first watching these videos in art class and we are excited that they’re now available online as full length videos. These videos focus on contemporary American visual artists. Strongly recommend spending a few hours checking out this series. The videos are just under an hour long and generally each one will focus on a few different themes, such as identity, memory, power and humor.
Check out www.pbs.org/art21/, enjoy some amazing documentaries.

RADIO RADIO
Spark Box Studio was recently featured on the Queen’s radio station CFRC. The three part interview was broadcast through their E-file and Alternative Frequency programs.
The interview was conducted by our friend Irina Skvortsova. Irina, along with Queen’s University student Cecily Taylor and Kingston silkscreener Julian Berry, owner of Ironclad Graphics, came to the studio not only to conduct an interview but also to use the space. Part of the interview included a short etching for the three visitors. By short we mean several hours.
We explained our hardground etching process from start to finish. Although the plates were prepared ahead of time we still talked about the importance of plate preparation. After carefully executing their imagery each individual was able to ink up their plate and leave with an original print.
During the coarse of the day Irina engaged us with discussion about Spark Box Studio, our education, experiences and how we had come to build up our business.
Watch our website for the posting of the interview clips.
