Pink Pig: Handmade Sketchbooks with Personality

Pink Pig sketchbooks are beloved by artists and students alike for their bold designs, outstanding quality, and commitment to sustainability.

Pink Pig was founded in 1992 by Nick Wilson, whose background in art, design, and printmaking provided a deep understanding of the creative process. The brand was born from a simple hand-drawn pig, originally sketched for a business card on a day trip to the Yorkshire Dales in 1982.

From the start, Nick’s vision was clear: to produce affordable, artist-grade sketchbooks with a wide range of colors and styles to reflect the individuality of their users. That vision still remains firmly in place. Today, every Pink Pig sketchbook is made in Yorkshire, Great Britain, using only the finest acid-free papers sourced from FSC-certified mills.

Pink Pig’s commitment to the environment is as strong as its dedication to craftsmanship. Their covers are made using 100% recycled post-consumer greyboard, and even the Thai tissue paper used in packaging is oxygen bleached and colored with non-toxic dyes. Most materials are recyclable, and the company proudly operates with virtually zero waste, including in its canteen and workshop.

Whether you're sketching, journaling, or developing a portfolio, Pink Pig sketchbooks offer the ideal balance of personality, performance, and planet-friendly values.
