Dot grid notebook (A5)

Notebook with evenly-spaced dot grid instead of lines—the dots guide sketches and diagrams without dominating the page like graph paper does. Becomes your hands-on reference library for techniques, measurements, and lessons learned.

What to look for

  1. 1Dot spacing around 5mm—tight enough for detail sketches, loose enough for notes
  2. 2Paper weight 80-100 GSM to prevent ink bleed-through
  3. 3Lies flat when open (spiral or sewn binding)
  4. 4Back pocket for storing clippings or samples

Skip

  • Perforated pages—you want permanent records, not loose sheets
  • Overly thick covers that don't fit in bags alongside tools

Used for: sketching project plans to scale using the grid · recording glaze recipes and firing results · documenting which techniques worked or failed · planning cuts or measurements before touching materials
