Bockingford artists' watercolour paper ~ 300gsm ~ cut or full sheets

Preferred choice for many artists. We are selling smaller sizes here to reduce carriage costs. Half sheets can be cut "normally" (short edge to short edge - "Fat Half") For bookcraft use we cut on a long fold (long edge to long edge ~ "Thin Half"), this can make useful folios for codex and other styles of binding.

Made on a mould machine using materials that enable the paper to conform to archival standards. The natural woollen felt used when couching gives an attractive surface with excellent colour lifting ability, and is regarded as "forgiving" by watercolour artists. The sides have a slight difference in appearance.

Bockingford is made from pure wood-free pulp with chalk buffering and internal sizing and with no added optical brighteners or chemical additions. The mill works to traditional standards, and so the full sheet is of Imperial size (30x22", or  76x56cm). We can cut to metric size as you wish, without charge for reasonable orders, but pricing will have to allow for wastage as we trim down from the larger sheets.

It is suitable for  watercolours ~ acrylics ~ gouache ~ pastels ~ pen and ink ~ charcoal ~ pencil. We are offering it in "thin halves" to enable bookbinders to make codex folios.

Carriage is not included in the pricing here, and needs careful consideration.
