Heritage & History
The Strathmore Paper Company was founded in 1892 in Westfield, Massachusetts, during the height of New England's paper-making industry. The Connecticut River valley provided water power, and the region's tradition of fine papermaking created the craft knowledge that Strathmore built upon.
For over 130 years, Strathmore has manufactured artist papers and writing papers from the same Massachusetts location. The brand became the standard in American art education — Strathmore sketchbooks, watercolor pads, and drawing papers are found in art classrooms from elementary schools through graduate programs. The company's consistency in quality across more than a century has made it the reference point for American art paper.
Made in Massachusetts
Strathmore art papers are manufactured at the Westfield, Massachusetts mill that has been in continuous operation since 1892. The mill produces drawing papers, watercolor papers, bristol board, mixed-media papers, and specialty artist surfaces — all made with the quality controls that 130 years of papermaking expertise provides.
The Massachusetts manufacturing heritage connects Strathmore to the broader tradition of New England craftsmanship. For artists who care about the surface under their work as much as the materials on top of it, Strathmore provides American-made papers that have served generations of artists and will serve generations more.
