Are you struggling to find specific sizes of GOLDEN and Williamsburg products at your local art store?
January 28, 2026
First and foremost, thank you for your continued support of all our brands and our employee-owned company. We truly appreciate your commitment.
As a manufacturer, we are always seeking to balance inventory stock levels against demand for our products. In August, we made an internal decision to temporarily pause the production of slower turning SKUs, toward the end goal of reducing long-standing excess inventory. As a result of various factors, the SKUSs remained paused longer than originally intended and ultimately, resulted in extended lead times and low fulfillment levels to our retail and distribution partners.
We recognize that these disruptions have been frustrating and disappointing for our consumers and business partners alike. Having analyzed the problem, we have developed a plan to improve both our lead times and fulfillment. In the meantime, several products will continue to be paused (and unavailable) for purchase. We estimate that this situation will steadily show improvement over February and March, with typical shipping times and product fulfillment back in April. Once our performance has returned to the level you have come to expect from us, we plan to reactive the paused SKUs.
Thank you again for supporting us through this journey as we work to rebalance our inventory and get back to providing the superior service that you, our customers, deserve.
Beginning immediately, some product sizes (listed below) will not be available until April 2026.
