birth of a pencil

11 SEP
MSE UPDATE - Staedtler have been in touch to say they have unfortunately run out of pencil posters.

Ever wondered how a pencil is made?

Find out in the ‘Birth of a Pencil’ poster, which tells an illustrated story of where pencil wood comes from, how lead is made and how the STAEDTLER name appears on the pencil.
