NITRAM is the charcoal of choice for professional artists, schools, academies and ateliers around the globe. This set brings together 4 charcoal sticks from across the NITRAM range, a convenient stylus and several colour-coded caps. Made with a combination of high-grade polycarbonate and surgical-grade stainless steel, the ergonomically designed stylus offers a lightweight, comfortable tool ideal for longer creative sessions. The included coloured caps also make it simple to keep track of which grade charcoal you're using at any given time. 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.
