Our Helen Painter’s Palette was inspired by the ivory palettes used by the ancient Egyptians. Constructed from sustainable maple and vegetable-tanned leather, the palette is a simple way to transport your favorite paints, whether you mix your own pigments or squeeze them from a tube.

The Helen fits in both the Classic and Mini Sendak Artist Rolls.

In the wise words of Annie Dillard, “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.” At Peg and Awl, we are working to facilitate the making of art everyday and anywhere with objects that make packing and transport easy, whilst looking quite handsome.

The wood is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC-certified wood was harvested from forests that are responsibly managed by environmentally conscious companies.

    Getting organized

    I have several Iris Palettes and realized I missed the point in terms of being organized. So, I opted to buy Helen’s Painter’s palette because it lends itself to very limited and specific pigments. I use mine for neutrals. The top 3 are ‘cool’ and the 3 below those are ‘warm’. I also like the dimensions which allow it to fit very conveniently pretty much everywhere.

    Pleasure in a Well Made Tool

    To use something beautifully made is a pleasure in itself.

    Paint palettes

    Lovely paint palettes

    I have bought these before and they have all been exquisite

    This time one wasn't quite so as it wasn't routed properly and so had sharp edges not sanded in the wells making it difficult to fit the pans in

    Guess one must have slipped quality control

    A neat little accessory for artists

    I gave it 3 stars because the leather cover came with a lot of grease stains on the front and there is a significant chip in the wood, right above the brush holder. I had also emailed peg & awl before making the purchase asking for some additional information about the product and never received a reply.
