Update: new inquiries sent out

I recently sent out inquiries to following companies:

  • Faber Castell, about their new water reservoir brush and their new inks
  • Kuretake, about the products in their Cartoonist inking set
  • Canon, about ink cartridges, toners and paper
  • Epson, about ink cartridges, toners and paper
  • Speedball Art, about dip pen holder and nibs, oblique holder and inks
  • William Mitchell, about dip pens, pen holders, nibs and inks
  • Leonardt for Hiro Leonardt calligraphy nibs and holders

Hopefully there will be some news soon.

Following calligraphy product companies  are momentarily not interested in catering to vegans or simply did never reply:

  • G.Lalo and Brause – no interest
  • Clairefontaine – no reply
  • Honsell Art – no reply
  • J.Herbin – no interest
  • Manuscript – no reply
  • Pilot – no reply
  • Cretacolor – no interest

 

Following companies are working on vegan friendly product lists: Lefranc&Bourgeois, Koh-I-Noor

 

If there are other calligraphy brands or printer ink ( and ink brand subsitutes) and paper brands out there, you are using or/and you want to know about their vegan friendly status, please let me know so I can contact them.                                                                     I am also happy to hear from you about every other art/crafting related brand you want to know this about, whether they produce your typical art supplies, paper, glue, varnish, … .
