The Fabriano Storia Spiral Pad is a versatile, high-quality drawing surface that bridges the gap between student and professional artist grades. Featuring the same premium 25% cotton blend as the larger rolls, this pad offers a durable, portable format for artists who value elegance and a resilient surface for their dry media work.
Key Features:
25% Cotton Composition: The addition of cotton provides significant surface strength. This is a smart choice for those who do a lot of layering or erasing, as the fibres are resistant to tearing and pilling even after multiple corrections.
Refined Velvet Grain: The paper features a cold-press, felt-marked surface with a subtle and delicate texture. This grain is specifically designed to grip dry media, allowing for smooth gradients, subtle shading, and crisp, precise lines.
Acid-Free & Archival: Certified for long-term preservation, the paper is acid-free and pH-neutral. It is manufactured without Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs), resulting in a natural white tone that won't yellow over time.
Spiral Binding: The top-side spiral binding allows for a 360-degree fold-back, making it ideal for field sketching or working in cramped spaces. It provides a stable, flat surface from the first page to the last.
Versatile Use: While optimised for pencil, charcoal, and coloured pencils, the 180gsm weight is heavy enough to handle light ink work or markers without excessive ghosting.
Sustainable Origin: Made in Italy using FSC®-certified cellulose and hydroelectric power, reflecting Fabriano's centuries-old commitment to quality and environmental responsibility.
