About this item
Large leather sketchbook with thick cartridge paper suitable for all dry media and drawing inks & light washes. It is portrait format and opens fully flat for ease of working. The pages are sewn directly to the leather spine not to each other, which leaves a bit of room for sitcking things in, collage work, or just slipping interesting things inbetween the pages without bursting the spine. The sketchbook measures 22 x 31 x 4cm. The paper is 180g/m2 white cartridge with a slight texture to it, so perfect for charcoal and soft pencil, but smooth enough to be written on with a nib. Sewn with cream wool and designed to be robust. It is unique, signed and numbered (no. 2,142) and comes in its own hand-made gift box.

I had had this sandy leather for quite a while. It is quite old & came to me from a leather worker who had retired. It was a big piece and I didn't quite know what to do with it until I got hold of the beautiful 'Oceana' coral-patterned paper by Jane Churchill and I knew they would make a lovely large sketchbook together! It is satisfyingly heavy and has a nice feel to it as you leaf through and makes a lovely noise when it flops shut.
What buyers say about Cath Ray Books
All 7 reviews
Excellent hand-made, leather-bound book. This will make a very special present for my husband who has used Cath Ray’s books in the past to take notes on his trees - he owns a horticultural business. The book is attractive, tactile and robust. Very happy to support a talented local maker and artist.

Bought 1 itemI love Cath’s Books. She tries to provide what you want, and her choices of leathers and textures and stitching are creative whilst also being sound. Really good value for what is a work of art.

Bought 1 itemI have two Cath Ray books, both beautiful, this recent one is no exception. They are things to be treasured. Cath is refilling my first one with new paper as I couldn’t bear to not be able to use it Once I’d filled it!
