The Sendak Artist Roll is designed with the nomadic artist in mind. This treasure carries your current arsenal of tools with you from the studio to coffee shop to en plein air.

In the Kent family, the Sendak has become an interactive centerpiece. Placed in the center of a table or picnic blanket, a group of drawers and dreamers gathers ’round. A session begins and ends with the Sendak, filled with a bouquet of colors, brushes and pens. As its namesake Maurice Sendak wrote, “Let the wild rumpus start!” And get messy – because clean-up is easy!

Tool Protectors
If you use brushes and dippy pens and other tools that have never traveled safely, fear not! We have developed tool protectors that slide into The Sendak and keep your tools safe from the outside! Order them with your Sendak or purchase separately here.

Custom Monogramming

Emmett, our laser engraving machine and in-house scribe, allows you to personalize our bags!

The monogram is laser-engraved on vegetable-tanned leather and attached with brass rivets (see the product photographs for an example). Note that the monogram is on the reverse side of the bag. Be sure to include your wished-for letters in the order notes (up to 3) when placing your order! MONOGRAMMED BAGS ARE NOT RETURNABLE.

    Goes Everywhere

    I love this roll. It is so inspiring to use and feels durable and well made. Since receiving it, it has gone everywhere with me and even keeps me company on my desk. The color is absolutely gorgeous. The strap can be a little annoying and in the way if you have to move around at all while painting on the go, but I always clip it to one of the back pockets and that makes it much less of an issue.

    Made for thin pens, and too short for short-handled brushes

    This is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, but the design isn't there yet. My standard, short-handled watercolor brushes (from mainstream brands like Princeton, Grumbacher, ) did not fit. They are too long for the protective flap to cover them securely. Closing the Sendak around them bent the bristles and was very awkward looking. So, if you have similar brushes you're hoping to protect in transit, you would need to cut them down to size (apparently Peg & Awl has a video about this that they can direct you to), but this seems unnecessary when there are alternative cases on the market that are the right size.. So, I needed to return the Sendak. Hoping that Peg & Awl redesign the Sendak to make a version for short-handle brushes --- and maybe even another version for long-handle brushes. Or maybe offer a complete artist pack with both sized Sendaks for painters? And when they do, I'll be first in line!

    Everything a sketcher needs in one small package.

    In my Sendak I carry a tin of watercolours, a P&A sketchbook, a ruler, two fountain pens, 24 watercolour pencils, 1 graphite pencil, 1 technical pen, 2 paint brushes, 1 water brush, and 1 eraser. Oh and I forgot to include my pencil sharpener. I love my Sendak!

    Great companion!

    I like Peg and Awl products, but my favorites are the Sendak Artist Rolls. I love them so much, so I bought two full size ones and a Mini. The full size ones are so good to store various items for my needs. I am using one for pencil drawings and plan to use the other for water painting. I have a mini one for a short trips. I carry them pretty much everywhere. I just need to choose the full size one or the mini! So satisfied!!!
