My Symposium Tin Collection in the Limelight

 


If you follow the global Urban Sketchers organization’s Instagram account, you may have noticed something vaguely familiar: My symposium pencil tin collection! A sponsorship coordinator contacted me recently because she had heard that I owned a complete collection of the Cretacolor tins. They were promoting long-time symposium sponsors, she said, and a photo of my tin collection was just what they needed!

Of course, I was more than happy to oblige. How often does one’s pencil tin collection receive international attention?

  2. These are great! I love the tins, are the pigments in each one for the area the symposium was held?

    1. No... the pencils were the same in almost all of them -- just a sampling of Cretacolor's offerings.

  3. How wonderfully geeky!! So…did you have any conversation about the (phantom) Barcelona tin?? Anne HwH

    1. Re: Barcelona: No one seems to know anything about it! I seem to be the only person on earth (except the owner of the ONE) who ever witnessed anything. I feel like a UFO observer that no one believes. ;-)

  4. This is super cool but also it sort of implies no one "official" at Cretacolor or USK has the full set?!

    1. I suppose that's true! Or perhaps no one else proudly shows off their collection on their blog! ;-)
