Derwent Coloured Pencils

😊A History of the Derwent Pencil Factory - Made in England😊

A Proud Heritage Dating Back to 1832

With a proud heritage dating back to 1832, we have been creating pencils in the Lake District, UK, since 1916 and the first Derwent colour pencil was introduced in 1938. Our Pencil Museum still stands on the site of our original factory in Keswick. Derwent has continued to be proud of its Cumbrian roots and in 2008 a purpose-built factory was opened in Lillyhall. With over 150 years of know-how packed into every pencil and art tool, our creative and scientific minds never cease in their quest for new ideas. Obsessing over the highest quality of materials and forever creating an ever evolving and exceptional range to meet the requirements of every artist. We will keep pushing our boundaries so that artists can keep pushing theirs.
