Wabi Sabi Sketchbooks for watercolours, gouache, ink, pencil, collage and stitching embrace the tactile beauty of handmade cotton rag paper. Their design is inspired by American poet Emily Dickinson's 'packets' (bundles of poetry she kept tied up in string) and the Japanese wabi sabi aesthetic of simplicity and incompleteness.

Sustainable & ethical sketchbooks

Sustainable, handmade and fair trade, these Wabi Sabi Sketchbooks are made only with natural materials: cotton, linen and beeswax. They are unadorned and coverless, yet practical and hardwearing. They feature exposed spine stitching and a woven linen ribbon to keep them securely closed.

The number of pages varies by size, but they are all medium-surface 210gsm cotton rag paper that's made from offcuts from the fashion industry. This reduces landfill waste and contributes to environmental protection.

A versatile sketchbook artists will love

These Wabi Sabi cotton rag sketchbooks lie flat on a table for easy use, thanks to the French linkstitch binding. They will also turn 360 degrees in a circle for displaying the contents. Because they're bound by hand with time-honoured bookbinding techniques, they'll last your lifetime. The paper is acid-free and sized so it's suitable for both wet and dry artwork.

    Fabulous notebooks

    I've purchased several in different sizes and colours, some for art journalling, some as sketchbooks and one as a notebook. They are exquisitely made, make beautiful gifts and are packed with love. I particularly love the large wabi sabi book. It lays flat to work on and I can personlise it by making my own cover.

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    chunky

    The sketchbook was as I imagined and just what I wanted for my poetry. Walnut ink has arrived and I shall

    soon start to write. I'm unsure how long it will take to complete - I don't want to rush it. I 'll try to send you a photograph later. We both love the binding. It is the perfect home!

    Best wishes,

    Islla
