Willow
Soft • dark • responsive
A classic drawing charcoal for broad values, blending, loose sketching and expressive marks.
Hand harvested • small batch • local wood
Charcoal made for artists.
Southbridge Artist Charcoal makes drawing charcoal from locally harvested wood, cut by hand and carefully converted into clean, expressive artist charcoal.
We make willow, black oak, crabapple and other seasonal wood charcoals. Custom charcoal batches are available on request.
Different woods. Different marks.
Made from the character of the tree.
Black Oak
Firm • controlled • textured
A denser charcoal with a different feel under the hand, useful for deliberate marks and experimentation.
Crabapple + Seasonal Woods
Local • varied • small batch
We make limited batches from suitable local woods and label them by species so artists can compare the results.
“From a local branch to an artist’s hand — harvested, prepared and carbonized in small batches.”
