Coming in August!

Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are coming to the Factory!

Usually the size of playing cards (2 1/2"x3 1/2"), ATCs are mini works of art created with trading in mind. Artists (that is us) create the cards using scraps and mini treasures, some are very vintagey, some more contemporary. The great thing about ATCs is that there really are no rules! You create what you want, how you want- stamp them, ink them, draw on them, collage them, whatever! You can create unique one of a kind works of art or multiples of similar cards. Once you have a supply of cards, you then head to a meet up and trade with other artists!

Look for other details and information soon. Until then, get to work on your cards!
