Derwent

In 1832, Banks, Son & Co. began manufacturing pencils and various stationery items in Cumberland. It was later acquired by Acco UK and known as the Derwent Cumberland Pencil Company. It intends to convince rising artists by providing them with new artistic techniques. Its aesthetic materials, such as art pencils, picture sets, etc., are offered worldwide.

Derwent colour pencils have traditionally been sold in tins of 12, 24, 36 and 72 different colours. They are also available in a range of wooden presentation boxes or sets of six which are intended to be trial packs.

Derwent's oldest line of colour pencils, Artist, were expanded from a range of 24 to 72 in 1939 and from 72 colours to 120 in 1996. Studio and Watercolour pencils are still available in the 72 original colours. Pastel pencils were introduced in 1994 and come in 90 colours. Derwent also now manufactures ordinary stick pastels.
