It began when Dan was working at a commercial printing company and learned that many artists were using commerical inks for their work. As Dan could see that there was a gap in the market for lightfast printing inks that worked well for the artists pace rather than a machines pace, he managed to find the funds to purchase a 3-roll mill and started specialising in printmaking ink made to the high quality that he wanted to achieve. As more and more artists found out about the printing ink, they spread the word the business started to grow and expand it's range of products.

Percy Coate first began experimenting with making willow charcoal in the 1960s. He used the willow that he grew himself and it took several years to perfect his technique. Indeed, he wasn't ready to sell his product until the 1970s. His grandfather had started in business in the 19th century buying and selling willow crops. Coates remains a family concern and offers what has been recognised as the finest quality willow charcoal in the world.
