Handmade Leather Sketchbook: 140gsm lay-flat recycled cartridge pages

This Leather Sketchbook is bound by hand in wonderfully tactile Mustard leather and features a lay-flat heritage binding style in Natural linen thread. It's perfect for artists who like to use a variety of dry and wet media like pencils, fine liners, ink and light watercolour wash. 

"I am so delighted with it! It will inspire my sketches on my travels and there are plenty of pages to keep me going. I wanted a special sketchbook. I have one now!" - Carole, Lincolnshire

Sketchbook Features & Benefits

• Lay-flat pages The special binding style features exposed stitching along the spine, which lets the pages lie open on a table. That means your sketchbook is really practical and pleasurable to use - no need to weigh down or hold open the pages with binder clips, etc.
• Versatile surface Whether you prefer drawing in pencil, pen or other dry media, the tooth and surface of this paper takes it all, as well as erased work. It's also great for painting and outperforms heavier papers. This is a modern recycled paper that is also enjoyable for writing with fountain pen, ballpoint or biro, so this book makes a lovely leather journal or notebook, too.
• Archival & practical No glue is used in this accomplished binding style, instead the pages are carefully hand sewn through the sketchbook's leather cover. This makes the book flexible yet robust, and means it will never, ever fall apart. An unbleached woven linen ribbon keeps the book securely closed for travel or archiving, and adds extra tactile pleasure to this handmade sketchbook.

"Susan’s work is meticulous, just right for someone... with an amazing imagination" - Gillian, Devon
