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