Feature
●PENCILS WITH HERITAGE – First created in the 1930’s, Blackwing built a cult following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwing pencils to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Discontinued in the 1990’s, we revived the Blackwing brand in 2010 for a new generation of artists, writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence.
●EXTRA-SMOOTH COLOR CORE – Blackwing’s colored pencil set consists of 12 different pencils, each with an extra-smooth Japanese wax color core designed specifically for coloring. The included colors are pink, red, yellow, orange, light green, green, light blue, blue, violet, brown, black, and silver. This pencil set is perfect for people seeking creative balance away from the daily grind.
●EASY-TO-SHARPEN CEDAR CASING – These colored artist pencils have a cedar casing made from genuine California incense-cedar, which sharpens evenly and easily. This casing is covered by a thick, color-matched lacquer, making it easy to find the color you need. Each colored pencil features a crisp, silver imprint and the same semi-hexagonal barrel found in our graphite pencils.
●METAL HEX CAP – Blackwing’s coloring pencils are each topped by a silver, metal hex cap that adds a bit of weight, giving the pencils a comfortable, balanced feel. This slightly-weighted end cap is important for artists who need superior control over an extended period of time.
●HOW WE GIVE BACK – A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefit the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops arts and music education at the K-12 level. Your purchase helps provide, among other things, the instruction, learning environment, and instruments children need to participate in the Little Kids’ Rock Modern Band Program.

THE BLACKWING STORY
Blackwing 602 pencils were first introduced in the 1930s. Their superior quality and distinct look made them the pencil of choice for Pulitzer, Grammy, and Academy award-winning creators from Chuck Jones to John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim throughout the 20th century. The Blackwing went from a pencil to an icon. Then suddenly in the 1990s, after corporate jostling, they completely vanished.
In 2010, we tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil-making experience to reintroduce Blackwing pencils to a new generation of writers, artists, and makers. We scoured the planet to find the best raw materials, designers, and craftspeople to create the best possible pencil. Since its return, Blackwing has transformed from a single pencil into a movement.
We create thoughtfully designed products to spark inspiration, get back in touch with your senses, and find balance in your day-to-day. Your time is precious and we want to help you create beautiful moments that will last because we know that life is just that much sweeter when we slow down. Our mission is to empower everyone with the tools and education to express their creativity even at an early age. A portion of every Blackwing purchase goes towards funding life-changing arts and music programs in public schools.
