Soapstone Pencils

Soapstone pencils are a must-have for calligraphers seeking precision, versatility, and ease of use. Made from naturally soft yet durable steatite, they create fine, visible guidelines that help refine letterforms and layouts—especially useful when working on delicate surfaces like fine art paper, vellum, or handmade sheets. Unlike traditional graphite, soapstone leaves clean, erasable lines that won’t smudge or damage your media, ensuring a flawless foundation for your inked masterpieces.

Perfect for both traditional and contemporary calligraphy styles, these pencils resist heat, moisture, and staining, allowing you to lightly mark baselines, spacing guides, or intricate flourishes and simply wipe them away once your lettering is complete. This simple revision process saves time and material, letting you focus on the art of beautiful writing.
