Inspired by the use of lapis lazuli and shell gold to add decoration to books prior to the introduction of  heated tooling, this set includes a handmade fine detail paintbrush, ultramarine blue and gold paint in handmade ceramic half pans, and a hand sewn slimline swath sketchbook.

The acrylic paintbrush is from a family run Keighley-based company Rosemary & Co.
The hand-made half pans are made by GreenBirdBoutique in Cambridge in stone-ware clay and finished in beeswax and linseed oil.
The paint is vegan-friendly and produced by Holbein in Ultramarine Blue and Gold.
