Like our Studio Knives and Gamvar Varnish Brushes, our Ground and Gesso Blades are designed to go on pegs at retail…there is no display rack to make room for.
How and what are they made of?
Our Ground and Gesso Blades are the first and only tool for painters made from 100% recycled materials. We directly source recycled plastic that meets our requirements and partner with a local company to injection mold these blades to our standards. As an aside, 100% recycled content actually costs more than less sustainable options.
These blades are an absolute joy to use. They save artists time, give them a better surface, and dramatically cut waste and environmental impact out of the process of preparing surfaces and cleaning-up. We could make a less expensive blade, but we couldn’t make them any better or more responsibly.
We are proud to be a leader in driving the development of more thoughtful, joyful, and sustainable options for artists, for Gamblin, and for fellow manufacturers.
