In March, it was announced that the Woodcraft waterproof markers were being reintroduced as the Acrylista marker line.  At this time, we also learned that some colors were being discontinued. Due to a large customer uproar, the manufacturer agreed to a limited distribution of the discontinued colors in the 6mm and 15mm Woodcraft line. Because many of our chalkboard artists “love all of the Woodcraft colors and honestly wish there were more!” this comes as great news.

Therefore, we can once again offer chalkboard artists the variety of colors they need. The Cohas color collection of waterproof chalk markers have become very popular with chalkboard artists at grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries, and breweries. As a result, artists can choose from a blend of colors like Wild Rose, Forest Green, Golden Yarrow, Honeysuckle, Salsa Verde, and Victorian Blue. As a result, the continued production of these markers means chalkboard artists will now have a wide selection of colors to create realistic portrayals of fruits, vegetables and other graphics.

Resulting in the above chalk art that uses our own custom products the EZ to change boards , Eco boards and New England slate products.  Most of all, our custom products work great for DIY weddings, special events, chalkboard art, menu design specials, and so much more.

Our popular Custom Pineapple Slate Board is made with a variety of all of the marker lines.

The increasingly popular Woodcraft markers are becoming a thing of the past. Soon, the Woodcraft markers will be replaced by Acrylista product line. Although the new markers are just a rebranded version of the Woodcraft, customers can expect some changes.

Woodcraft Markers will be Replaced by Acrylista Product Line; the 6mm Woodcraft marker shown alongside the 6mm Acrylista marker for a comparison of the old and new marker lines.

Why So Popular

The Woodcraft markers have become popular with chalkboard artists at grocery stores like Whole Foods, Fareway, Safeway, and New Seasons. Available in up to 50 colors, designers could choose from artistic colors like Moss Green, Honeysuckle, and Victorian Blue. The wide selection let artists create realistic portrayals of fruits, vegetables and other produce.

Here at Cohas.com, our artists used the Woodcraft colors to create in-house artwork and the art for our custom products. Our popular Custom Pineapple Slate Board is made with a variety of the Woodcraft colors.

What’s the Same

Though the marker line is going through some changes, there are a few key features that will be the same. First of all, inside the marker, the waterproof ink will be the same formula. Still guaranteeing a semi-permanent bond, the ink will only be removable with Windex or an ammonia based cleaner. And barrel sizes will not change, so the markers will hold the same amount of ink.

Additionally, the marker will still come in the 6mm Broad Chisel and 15mm Big and Broad sizes that artists have come to love. And the changes will not come at a price increase. Acrylista markers will be the same price as the Woodcraft markers in both sizes.

What’s New

First and foremost, the factory is dropping some of the colors they offer in both the tips sizes. In the 6mm Woodcraft line, the factory once offered as many as 31 artistic colors. This number will decline to just 20 Arcylista colors. For the 15mm Woodcraft marker, there was once 25 artistic colors available. This has dropped now to 18 colors.

Here’s a breakdown of the colors that will remain and disappear:
