These Japanese Sketchbooks are hand stitched in shades of blue linen thread in a choice of traditional 'stab stitch' styles: Simple, Noble, Hemp Leaf and Tortoiseshell. They're carefully bound by hand in 210gsm handmade cotton rag paper and are available in 4 sizes, from A6 small to A3 extra large.
"A beauty object in its own right... the artist friend who received it was thrilled and inspired." - Jackie, Oxfordshire.
Each size of sketchbook has 20 leaves (40 pages) of medium surface 210gsm handmade khadi paper, and the A3 size benefits from thicker 320gsm covers. The paper feels soft yet substantial, sturdy and inviting. This is an art journal every artist can enjoy using.
The paper is sized for wet mediums so is great for watercolour, acrylic, gouache, oil and ink. Thanks to its natural tooth and texture, the cotton rag paper also gives great results with dry media like pencil and charcoal.
The paper is handmade, fair trade and recycled from the fashion textile industry, so it helps reduce landfill waste. So this sketchbook is ideal for artists who prefer an ethical and eco-friendly art journal to use and love. The pages features deckled edges that give the books a very natural feel; depending on size some pages are hand-torn.
"Excellent quality product, exquisite craftsmanship, quick delivery." - Helen, Hampshire
