Description

150 x 105 mm

The Kabosu Sketchbook features 76 pages of sustainable 200 gsm off-white paper. We use a binding method known as Smyth sewing or Section sewing. This requires 10 folded sections to be machine-sewn in-house into book blocks. This stage is crucial for durability and the books’ lay-flat capabilities. These book blocks are then bound by hand with a thin layer of water-based PVA. We leave our binding exposed as this technique provides maximum flexibility, allowing the book to open completely flat on every single page.

Seriously can not underestimate the quality of all Piths books, my small sketchbook and journal are an absolute joy to use

as someone who has struggled with handwriting since childhood the flat lay design also really helps keep my hand more comfortable when writing

highly recommended!

Gorgeous sketchbook of real high quality. Was bought as gift, but will definitely be returning for a purchase of my own. Love the little desk seeds, and personal note too !

This purchase is for my 12th Pith book, I have bought and completed 11 Pith books in the past 2½ years - I'm rarely outside the house without a sketchbook now and my choice is Pith

I love my Pith sketchbook. It feels so special and made with love and care. It is gorgeous to use, too. The paper has been working well with watercolour, gouache and ink. Thank you.

They are beautiful and very well made. It really is joy to draw and write on them. It would also be great if you had options for standard sizes (A4, A5, A6 etc). Especially for the sketchbooks. I was hoping for a sketchbook with removable pages (maybe perforated?) that also has a standard sizing for easier framing. Nevertheless, they are a great product.

Devoted. Right sizes for purpose. Portable, light, lays flat and yet is sturdy. Paper strong yet light, takes most media but care needs to be taken with watercolour.
However, ideal for sketching with pencil or pen

This is a gift for my son who is very much into comic art, he likes smaller sized pads so thought this would make a lovely additional christmas gift. It's wonderful quality so we will be back

Ordered after recommendation from my art group, very efficient, helpful service. Lovely packaging, arranged to collect. Have used for sketching with brush pen and no leakage through, lovely, high quality sketchbooks. Will definitely recommend and reorder.

I recently discovered pith in a London art supply shop with my son. We both were attracted to the sketchbooks immediately ... they are so tactile ...crafted ... a pleasure to hold and use ... that they can open up completely is a real plus! and the paper quality outstanding, taking fountain pen and soft leads equally well!

Amanda Pilnick

I will be buying more

I now have 5 sketchbooks from Pith. I just love these books. I wouldn't dream of buying anything other than Pith. I use pen,ink, coloured pencils, with an occasional watercolour wash. All great. I intend to buy notebooks and also a planner next year. If you are wondering whether to get these sketchbooks....do not hesitate. Packaged so well and environmentally aware.

Hi - I've only used it once, when a friend of mine lured me into doing some sketching in a bar. She's really good. Me not so good. Fun though.

And the sketch book was great.

Great little sketchbooks made with great care and packaged beautifully. The paper is beautiful to work on with mixed media and I love that I can continue across the seam in the page to make my drawing/painting bigger should I want to. It is a really. Handy size to put in my handbag or pocket when I am out and about so that I always have my sketchbook with me.

Love it, carry it around with me everywhere, it’s just not quite as well made as some of the other books I’ve had from here; still brilliant quality (wish I could give 4.5 stars)

It is a lovely sketchbook, but I meant to order an A5 size one, so I haven't used this yet as it's a bit small.

Love these notebooks for sketching on the go and at the desk. Spine design is brilliant as it allows both pages to lay flat for a better experience when using both sides of the paper. Quality of paper is also gorgeous. Pocket size is great for carring in a day back/handbag for those 'need to capture' moments.

I love every sketchbook that I’ve ever purchased from Pith. They maintain a very high standard and I love that the binding isn’t restrictive. The service is always fast and professional. I’ll continue to be a returning customer.

The notebooks arrived in good time well packaged and protected and with a smart presentation packaging. I bought several sketchbooks/notebooks but they are gifts and not for myself so I haven't got any feedback on how they are being used as yet but they look fab and I will be looking to treat myself soon. 😊
