Skillfully handmade in sustainable materials, this A5 Sketchbook is bound in Pink Rose cork textile with attractive exposed spine stitching in Turquoise linen thread. It's a softcover book with 192 pages of 140gsm multipurpose recycled cartridge paper for all dry or wet art media.
The pages lie open on a desk, so the book is really easy to use whether you're sketching or writing. A discrete colophon on the final page gives details of the binding and materials for handmade authenticity.
This book works equally well as a journal, notebook or sketchbook and is perfect for people who like sustainable goods. That's because cork is a naturally renewable resource protected by law, and the cartridge paper is made from recycled disposable coffee cups. Furthermore, the binding thread is pure linen, one of the most sustainable fibres on earth.
Cork textile is warm and smooth to the touch, making this a lovely book to handle and use. It's also hypoallergenic and water-resistant, so it's practical, too. It's both a naturally vegan alternative to leather, and a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic 'faux' leathers that are plastic based.
Because cork is a textile, I treat its edges with a plant-based substance to prevent fraying, ensuring you'll get a lot of use and pleasure from this book.
To minimise waste and increase my studio's sustainability, I use cork offcuts - small pieces left over after making these A5 size books - to make matching cork vegan Miniature Journals.
A5 medium 8.5 x 6 inches / 21 x 15 cm
