Cotton Rag Sketchbook: 210gsm handmade paper | velvet ribbon

This Cotton Rag Sketchbook is a slightly more luxurious, extra tactile version of the popular 'Wabi Sabi' Sketchbooks. Bound with Old Gold velvet ribbon and the finest French linen thread, it has 210gsm handmade paper for wet and dry artwork, embroidery stitching and collage.

"I have several of these books mainly because they are just so beautiful and unique, but also they are wonderful to work in... velvet ribbon is the icing on the cake!" - Melanie, Berkshire

Features & Benefits

  • Wet & dry media The 100% cotton rag paper is 210gsm, acid-free and medium surface. It's gelatine sized so it takes a variety of wet media really well. Its natural tooth and texture provides a good grip for dry media like charcoal and pencil, too. It's even suitable if you want to experiment with embroidery stitching on paper!
  • Lay-flat / 360 degrees The exposed spine binding allows the pages of your sketchbook to lay flat on a desk; no need to weigh the pages down or hold them open with binder clips, and you can work right into the gutter of each page. The binding also lets the sketchbook open up in a 360 degree circle, an inviting way to display its contents.
  • Handmade authenticity Handmade paper has traditional deckle edges which give the pages a delightful, ruffled appearance that seem to invite engagement and creativity, the perfect antidote to blank page freeze!
  • Eco-friendly This quality paper is fairtrade and handmade from 100% cotton offcuts from the fashion industry, which pevents waste from going to landfill. 
  • Practical Not just an aesthetic choice, the wonderfully tactile velvet ribbon is incorporated into the binding to keep your sketchbook closed for travel or archiving. 

"Paper thickness for me is perfect - I used ink, charcoal, pen and collage on my pages and no bleed to the other side." - Samantha, Hampshire
