About Blackwing

With century-deep roots and a passion for creating and inspiring others to create, Blackwing is more than just pencil makers.

Blackwing Culture

Blackwing makes pencils, notebooks and tools for creative-minded people, and others looking to unplug once in a while. Whether in the form of vinyl records and print books, or film cameras and worn-down pencils, they think there's something in the tactile feel of an analog tool that is in our DNA. Blackwing tries to tap into that feeling in our everyday lives by making things with our hands, and by valuing the creative process as much as the result.

Blackwing believes in the power of arts and music, as both a creative outlet and as an educational tool. That's why a portion of every Blackwing sale benefits music and arts education through the Blackwing Foundation, and why they use projects like Blackwing Music to shine a spotlight on artists who deserve attention.

Blackwing Mission

To empower creativity by making great products, supporting deserving artists, and helping fund programs that have a sustainable, positive impact on arts and music education in schools.

Century Deep Roots

In 2010, the Blackwing brand was revived by the team at California Cedar Products Company, a leading supplier of wood for making pencils. With pencil industry roots dating back to the mid 19th century and a company history that dates back to 1917, CalCedar has built a long tradition of excellence and unique supply relationships that now extend to the Blackwing pencils, notebooks and lifestyle products. Blackwing products are sold in nearly 1500 stores worldwide.
