Kremer Pigments is one of those New York City treasures you feel lucky to have.
If you are mesmerized by color, go visit Kremer. The staff is friendly and they don't mind you walking and gazing at all the beautiful colors.
They have free classes sometimes. The manager, Roger, is very knowledgeable and also teaches at Kremer or look up classes outside of Kremer through coursehorse.
The place is small, but the walls are filled and well-stocked.
Aside from a variety of pigments (Historic, Earth & Iron Oxide, Synthetic, Glass, Enogu), they also have various binders, mediums, glues, fillers, solvents, wetting agents. They sell aluminum tubes and other containers to store your paint and a small reference material section with books.
They have pre-made paint including watercolors. Just beautiful lovely color everywhere.
For all you bookbinders and calligraphers, they have some tools and gilding material.
Also, don't shy away because of the $ rating. Some of the pigments are costly in of themselves or because of quality. There's a pricepoint for everyone.
I absolutely love this place!
