NEW: Leather Artists' Sketchbooks

by Susan Green February 06, 2018

Contemporary, colourful Artists' Sketchbooks handmade in fine leather.

Towards the end of last year I had a request for some watercolour leather sketchbooks from my local stockist Walford Mill Crafts in Wimborne, Dorset. I took the opportunity to experiment with a slightly different binding style, new closure styles, as well as some new colourways. 

I realised it was about time I stocked some Artist's Sketchbooks here in my online shop, so spent January continuing my adventures and binding a new collection of Sketchbooks with various papers that artists will find useful.

Above you can see some of the brand new colour combinations that are available to shop now: Mustard & Olive; Oxblood, Teal & Mustard; Duck Egg & Sherbet Lemon.

I've used a variety of quality artists' papers for all mediums:

Watercolour: 300 gsm cold presssed, fine grain paper which is acid free, FSC certified and made in England. I've heard from a calligrapher that this paper is great for calligraphy; it's also thick enough for collage and mixed media and it would be good for writing or drawing if you prefer a really sturdy page.

Cartridge: 150 gsm smooth paper for all dry mediums.

Pastel: 160 gsm fine art paper in varied tones with a slighty textured surface.

If you'd like a bespoke Sketchbook with your own choice of speciality paper, do get in touch!  Otherwise, scroll down to  shop my new collection of Artists' Sketchbooks in an array of new colourways.
