Faber-Castell has been manufacturing the world’s finest quality art supplies since 1761. Professionals and amateurs alike value our professional grade art materials and supplies for their unsurpassed quality. Innovative design and the world’s finest quality pigments and raw materials are combined with state of the art manufacturing processes to guarantee the highest quality. Any purveyor of fine art supplies who values good results and does not want to worry about broken leads, uneven color lay down or fading will not be disappointed.

Faber-Castell graphite pencils are cherished for their unsurpassed break resistance and light-fastness. Our pencil leads are bonded to their wood casings with a patented Secural epoxy resin bonding process (SV Bonding) resulting in a pencil with superior pencil strength and excellent point retention qualities.

Faber-Castell uses a unique color matching system so that it does not matter if you purchase our colored pencils, soft-chalk pastels or Pitt Pens - you can be assured that the colors will match. This feature is important to students and artists who prefer to work in mixed media.

With 120 colors in our color palette the light-fastness (resistance to fading) of our products is indicated on each pencil, pastel or pen.
