These fine quality sticks of willow charcoal produce the rich blacks and soft grays artists love for creating tonal areas and linear work. They are grown and harvested from willow beds in the wetlands of southwest England by the Coate family. Willows are sorted according to width and are then cut, dried and baked to perfection. All sticks are approximately 5-1/2" long and because this is a natural product, diameters vary.
