Description
Our On Location series reveals where some of the best-loved art materials are made, and provides insight into the working methods of the people who make them. This time, we travelled to Austria to visit the Cretacolor pencil factories, where dedicated staff craft a wide range of artists’ pencils, charcoals and pastels, from their classic Fine Art pencil range and versatile Aqua Monolith collection to their richly pigmented Karmina colour pencil sets.
