Great in all the ways...
These some of the ways Rosemary & CO excels.
1. The brushes! They have transformed my painting. I lead an oil painting group in my community and have raved about the brushes, gifted sample brushes to several of them (Eclipse Comber size 5/8) and have since loaned mine during group to let the members try for themselves. All of those who tried the brushes loved them. There really is a difference. Some of my current favorites include the Eclipse, Red Dot and Evergreen series. Overall the pricing is unbeatable.
2. Customer service. The company is very responsive to inquiries and even reached out when I first ordered to clarify which I wanted - long or short handles - when I didn’t make a selection. Brushes always arrive well protected. Shipping is surprisingly fast considering I am in the USA.
3. Workshops. I participated in a workshop this summer and can say the hospitality was beyond what I imagined it would be. The staff was welcoming, anticipating any wants or wishes we might have had, processing brush orders same day, and the food! Oh my, the food was the best. There was something to paint anywhere I looked. Lodging was very nice with a well-stocked kitchen for our breakfasts.
4. Rosemary and Mark. They were hospitable and attentive, ensuring that everything went beautifully. I loved the brush-making demo by Rosemary, and enjoyed learning a bit more about their process. We had a chance to try new brushes, which of course I had to add to my stash.
