Fine Art Charcoal Starter Kit

NITRAM is the charcoal of choice for professional artists, schools, academies and ateliers around the globe. A perfect introductory set to charcoal as a medium, this set includes 4 charcoal sticks from across the NITRAM range & pairs them with a slim version of their Sharpening Block with replacement pads. Designed for sharpening & shaping NITRAM charcoal, the included Sharpening Block has a longer wooden handle for further control & leverage, reducing dust & debris and comes complete with several replacement pads. Produced in Canada, these incredibly durable sticks are manufactured through a unique process that maintains the wood's cell structure. This in turn works to prevent breakage, making them both much more durable and more versatile than their standard willow or vine counterparts. This additional strength not only reduces dust whilst you work, but allows each stick to be sharpened to a fine point with the NITRAM Sharpening Block.
