Frequently Asked Questions
-
We’ve found A5 to be the most practical size for everyday use. It is easy to carry, comfortable to work in, and doesn’t feel overwhelming to start. For many artists, this means they sketch more often and stay more consistent.
-
We do, but not as part of our regular range. From experience, these sizes move more slowly, so we produce them in smaller, occasional batches. Our main focus is making sure our A5 sketchbooks are always available and well-made. If you’re looking for larger formats, please feel free to reach out.
-
We use carefully selected, recycled art paper that works well across different mediums. It’s premium and acid-free, so your work is better preserved over time, while still handling pencil, charcoal, ink, and light washes comfortably. We prioritize durability, texture, and a satisfying drawing experience, whether you’re a beginner or a professional.
-
They’re designed for anyone who wants to draw more regularly. Whether you’re a student, a practicing artist, or just getting back into it, the idea is to have something you will reach for often and enjoy using.
