Crafts Americana Group

In 1990, Bob Petkun left the corporate world of big business and engineering to begin out on his own. He saw an opportunity in tole painting, and speedily founded his newly acquired firm, Tole Americana (later renamed the Crafts Americana Group publishing under the Artist's Club title) to sell paint, surfaces, and brushes provide directly to painters. Today, with Bob's direction, Artist's Club is operated by a tiny staff of artists and merchandisers who have a combined total of over 25 years in the tole painting business.
