Cotton Rag Art Journal: 210gsm handmade paper | velvet ribbon

This practical Sketchbook is bound by hand in the French Linkstitch style, and is left coverless to showcase the beauty of its binding and handmade paper. It's carefully stitched with a velvet ribbon in Red or Rust (a warm reddish-brown) for extra tactile pleasure and beauty. The 210gsm handmade paper is wonderful for all wet and dry media. Choose the original exposed version, or add a cover for archiving.

"I love how the pages are designed to lie flat so that I can illustrate across two pages. A delightful little book, beautifully made" - Julia, Dorset

Features & Benefits

  • Lay-flat & 360 degree binding Bound by hand with traditional bookbinding skills, the exposed spine binding allows the pages to lie flat on a surface. You don't need to weigh them down or hold them open with binder clips. The book will also turn 360 degrees so you can display its pages standing up on a shelf in your creative space.
  • Versatile surface The 210gsm cotton rag paper is medium-surface and gelatine sized, so it has a nice weight and is designed to take wet media really well. Thanks to the natural tooth and texture of handmade paper, it also takes dry media like charcoal beautifully. 
  • Fairtrade & eco-friendly  It's fairtrade and handmade from textile industry offcuts, meaning it's sustainable, ethical and good for the planet. Because they're handmade, the pages have traditional deckle edges which make for a delightfully ruffled appearance. 
  • Practical & archival When not in use, the beautiful velvet ribbon keeps your book securely closed so it's easy to take on your travels, or store away on a shelf or in a drawer. It's incorporated into the spine binding so you never need to worry about it getting loose. The paper is acid-free and archival, so your colours will remain true all your life.
