ZIGZAG CARD

Artists’ handmade paper from Khadi Papers India. This paper is made from 100% long fibred cotton rag. Internally sized with neutral pH size. Tub sized (surface sized) with gelatine. Acid free. Rough surface.

Extra-large handmade water-soluble graphite stick for big artistic interventions and large scale drawings. The graphite of 8B grade turns this rough object into a smooth drawing and painting instrument. The design of the ArtGraf XL had as its starting point the factory and the artisanal process used for the production of graphite leads. ArtGraf XL is an unique worldwide object whose artistic potential is totally unexplored and as such it establishes new frontiers to creativity.

ArtGraf Nº1 is a soft graphite putty that allows the user to shape the drawing tool according to specific drawing needs. Shape it into a large ball and make big coloured areas for big drawing or shape it into a smaller tool for greater control. ArtGraf Nº1 can create a wide range of shades and colour contrast through the use of more or less material. Nº1 can be used directly from the package or mixed with water.

Created with 100% cotton, this paperboard is indicated for all printmaking techniques (engraving, lithography, silk-screening, xylography and linocuts).

Tiepolo is pH neutral, assuring inalterability over time.
