Designer Nicholas Hemingway has taken to Kickstarter for the 11th time to launch his new handmade 5.6 mm clutch pencil finished in reclaimed ebony. Offering a sustainable design for a green environment, the clutch pencil is perfect for artists, designers, architects, and sketchers.
Features and Benefits
The handmade clutch pencil is not just a tool; it is a piece of art in itself. The use of reclaimed ebony ensures that each pencil is unique, with its own distinct grain and texture. This sustainable approach not only reduces waste but also gives a second life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. The 5.6 mm lead size is ideal for a variety of applications, from detailed sketches to bold, expressive lines. Artists and designers will appreciate the pencil’s versatility and the quality of the materials used.
Watch the promotional video below to learn more about the handmade clutch pencil, which is available to back via Kickstarter with early bird pledges starting from £42. This offers a 30% saving off the recommended retail price, which will take effect once the crowdfunding campaign comes to an end.
Background and Inspiration
“Second cousin of the famous writer Ernest, Nicholas Hemingway’s pencils have become sought after all over the world, and it’s thanks to Kickstarter that he owes this privilege. Nicholas’ beautifully crafted handmade mechanical pencils are all hand-produced on his grandfather’s old workshop lathe. Nicholas was left the lathe when his grandfather passed away, and Nicholas started his bespoke design business in honor of him.”
Nicholas Hemingway’s dedication to craftsmanship and sustainability is evident in every pencil he creates. The use of his grandfather’s lathe adds a personal touch and a sense of history to each piece. This connection to the past, combined with a forward-thinking approach to design and materials, makes Hemingway’s pencils truly special. The reclaimed ebony used in the pencils not only looks stunning but also aligns with modern values of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
