cretacolor studio school graphite pencil tin set 6

Cretacolor Artist Studio Graphite pencils are part of the Cretacolor Artist Studio range.

The high quality FSC-certified wooden barrel and graphite lead is entirely glued into the barrel, creating an extremely high breaking strength that can be sharpened a fine point.

This 6 piece tin set includes the following pencil grades:
HB, B, 2B, 3B, 4B and 6B.

Perfect for sketching and drawing, graphics and design. The softer grades in the set make the pencils suitable for applying shadows and textures with darker, richer tones.

Cretacolor is based in Hirm, Austria and is the one and only pencil producer in Austria.
With the CRETACOLOR brand, Brevillier Urban & Sachs combines the ambition of two individualists: Carl Brevillier and Hans Wolfgang Hromatka.

In 1863, the manufacturer Carl Brevillier founded the Zeus pencil factory in Vienna, which made writing and drawing accessible to everyone. His aim was to create high-quality tools for people who write or draw at an affordable price.
Since the end of the 1990s, Hans Wolfgang Hromatka has continued the tradition of this historic brand under the name CRETACOLOR. By purchasing the Hirm pencil factory in 1996, the passionate collector of old pencils succeeded in combining his passion and his field of work for the first time, preventing the closure of the company. Thus CRETACOLOR gradually developed into one of the premium brands for high-quality artists' products worldwide, keeping in mind sustainability and environmental protection. For the production of pencils only 100% sustainable green electricity from Austria is used, which comes mainly from hydroelectric and wind power. In this way, Brevillier Urban & Sachs contributes to reducing emissions in the fight against climate change.
