This cheerful A5 Leather Sketchbook is hand bound in Mustard Yellow finest calfskin leather covers. It will be appreciated by artists who enjoy tactile natural materials and fine craftsmanship. It's similar in style to the historically accurate books I bound for the Roman Villa Ventorum at The Newt in Somerset
This softcover leather sketchbook is very hardwearing thanks to its archival materials and binding style. It's such a delight to use because the leather is so good to handle: warm and lightly textured. Not to mention that the book is flexible, so its pages lie open on a table for easy use.
It's ideal for artists who enjoy expressing their creativity through a variety of mediums, as the sketchbook's lay-flat pages are 140gsm 'all-media' recycled cartridge paper that are perfectly suited to both dry and wet artwork including pencil, ink, gouache and light watercolour. Futhermore, any kind of pen (except marker) including calligraphy and fountain pens, will glide across the pages. The paper is made from recycled coffee cups, so you can feel good about your purchase.
The pages are collected into eight signatures, each individually stitched through the leather cover in the simple yet beautiful Longstitch style. A discrete colophon printed on the last page details the materials, binding style and maker for that authentic artisan experience, and the pages feature traditional hand-torn deckle edges that speak of the craftsmanship that brought this unique sketchbook to life.
With a distinctive 'V' shape cover and exposed spine stitching, the design of this sketchbooks echoes that of the very earliest book forms. It's a great choice for creatives who love heritage craftsmanship.
