“I recently had Blazing Editions print thirteen 24" in diameter circular prints in dye sub on aluminum for two exhibitions at Soho Photo Gallery in New York City, which will open on May 29, 2024. The quality is excellent! Even though these are black and white images printed with CMYK dyes, the prints are neutral with no unwanted color tints. Dye sub printing on aluminum is a more complicated printing process than making prints on paper or canvas on an inkjet printer. The image is first printed on a transfer paper, then the dyes on the transfer paper are infused into the aluminum under heat and pressure in a press. All this has to be done correctly and Blazing Editions knows exactly how to do this process. In addition, they have a CNC router that was able to cut the aluminum print into a 24" circle. Highly recommended!”

“A taste of the past Scrimshaw is the art of carving on bones, teeth, baleen and tusks of animals. It really developed in the early 19th century on whaling ships in the Pacific Ocean and helped the sailors pass away the long hours in distant lands. Most of it was never signed and has been called the only original American art form. A Scrimshander is a person who makes scrimshaw and that's the name of this unique store. They have some of the most exquisite scrimshaw imaginable, using ancient walrus and mammoth tusks and various elephant and certain sperm whale teeth. The Marine Mammal Protection Act forbids any whale teeth harvested after 1973 to be used but the items made before this time can be sold and worked on. Scrimshanders meticulously keeps track of every item they sell and will give you a detailed history of it's source. They also have polymer reproductions and will do extremely fine restoration work on existing scrimshaw. Besides scrimshaw the store also have a fine selection of Nantucket Baskets. The baskets are finely weaved, decorative items that were first crafted by men struck on the stationary lightships to help keep from going absolutely bonkers. Some of the baskets are so delicate they look like they can be crushed in your hands and come in all different sizes. Lots of amber jewelery, frames, greeting cards, lighthouse models, Xmas ornaments and fantastic sculptured models and drawings of beautiful sea birds are displayed and just about any type of nautical artwork is available. This is a great store for anyone interesting in art, history or nautical crafts. If you want something unique, historic and at the same time absolutely beautiful this store is worth checking out. Just make sure you bring a fat wallet because fine art like this doesn't come cheaply.”

“I'm understandably favorably inclined as an artist whose work is represented in this gallery, but it is a fine place see and purchase good art in the heart of historic Main Street in Wickford.”
