Faber-Castell
Faber-Castell is an internationally operating group of companies with German roots. Faber-Castell is producing in 15 factories world-wide and runs 19 sales units.
Faber-Castell is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and sellers of high-quality products for drawing, colouring and creative design – a famous name all over the world. The international group of companies was originally founded over 246 years ago (in 1761) as a pencil factory in Stein, near Nuremberg. It is thus one of the world’s oldest industrial companies; it is now headed by Count Anton Wolfgang von Faber-Castell, the 8th generation of his family to do so.
One art supplies range is Technical Drawing – high quality drawing instruments that are precise and easy to use. Drawing boards, stencils, rulers and squares are made of tough materials and especially well finished. They are perfectly complemented by high-quality drawing pens, compasses, clutch pencils and other mechanical pencils and accessories like ink, erasers and sharpeners.
Another is the amazing Fine Art range, including:
Albrecht Durer Watercolour Pencils – extraordinarily versatile and colourful with the ability to convert a drawing, or parts of it, into a painting with just a few strokes of a wet paintbrush.
Polychromos Artists Colour Pencils – particularly soft waterproof wax leads leading to a smoothness and resistance to smudging that make them a pleasure to use.
PITT Pastel Pencils – particularly suitable for lines, hatching, and very fine colour transitions, but also for shading larger areas. They are useful for sketches and studies, portraits, still lifes and landscapes.
PITT Artist Pens – combines the advantages of waterproof and very light-fast drawing ink with the practical features of a reliable modern drawing pen, meaning you can give your drawings as much expression as possible.
There is also a new series from the specialist arts and crafts of Faber-Castell Creative Studio which starts with six sets, developed together with artists. These Inspiration Sets lead one gently onto various creative techniques, offer ideas and encouragement, while leaving plenty of scope for one’s own creativity.
