Pergamena
Pergamena Parchment, Vellum Calfskin Prepared, 2 Pack Character/Classic 5 x 7
This 2-pack of calfskin parchment (also called vellum) from Pergamena comes prepared and ready for you to start creating. It includes one lighter piece with less grain (Classic) and one with more grain, color, and texture (Character), giving you the opportunity to choose the best fit for your work. Each piece is cut to a 5” x 7” size. Also includes access to Pergamena's educational resources.
Why choose calfskin? As the only true vellum, calfskin is thin and smooth with minimal visual interference, making it ideal for calligraphy and illustrations that require a clean, paper-like surface. Available in a range of colors, with cream and white being particularly favored for their classic appeal.
About Pergamena:
With a history dating back to 1550 in Germany, Pergamena is a family-owned tannery now based in New York’s Hudson River Valley. Led by Jesse Meyer, the company honors its centuries-old leather and parchment traditions while embracing sustainable innovations. Using animal hides that are byproducts of the food industry, Pergamena minimizes waste and chemical intervention, producing high-quality parchment and leather free of heavy metals. Their commitment to reducing water usage and environmental impact ensures that every product reflects both craftsmanship and eco-consciousness.
Parchment is a natural material, so each piece is one of a kind. We cannot guarantee specific colors, patterns, or markings. The images shown are suggested representations and will differ from the actual pieces you receive.
