More new drawing goodies in the shop….this time the finely designed Blackwing pencils.

What sets them apart from the other brands and makes them a must have in your pencil collection?

They are simply beautiful to write and draw with.  Smooth and silky, my Natural Pencil has no chalky bumps in the graphite and the lead seems to last forever before it needs sharpening.

The Pedigree of Blackwing

Blackwing’s roots go back to the 1930’s when the 602 model was first introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company. Over the years, the pencil with the unique rectangular eraser became synonymous with quality. Then, in 1998, after several corporate acquisitions, it was discontinued, but not forgotten. In fact, fans began paying as much as $40 on eBay for a single Blackwing pencil.

A Simple Range of Essentials
Revived in the 2010’s this pencil has gone from strength to strength with a new cult following.   They create a simple range of pencils that are staples in their portfolio and then each year they release a new style as a limited edition.

A Business That Supports Others

When you purchase a Blackwing pencil your money not only goes towards supporting multiple small businesses but Blackwing also is incredibly active in supporting music programs and art programs in their local community.  We do love art supplies that have a conscience.
