Visited the General Pencil factory
With the NYC Urban Sketchers, I toured the General Pencil factory in Jersey City, New Jersey. The factory has been in this brick building for close to a hundred years. I was impressed seeing people hand-crafting the art pencils that I’ve been drawing with, working with much-loved ancient machines.
