Discovering POSCA Markers

Seamlessly blending versatility, quality & ease-of-use, the POSCA range from Uni is ideal for any artist, hobbyist, crafter or illustrator who loves adding colour to their everyday life! 

“But Cowling & Wilcox, what makes POSCA so special?”
We’re glad you asked, nameless artist.

Ideal for creatives of all ages, their versatile water-based, non-toxic ink is highly pigmented for bold, vibrant applications on almost any surface including paper, wood, glass, fabric, metal or stone. 

When wet, each colour can be easily blended for a limitless working palette or alternatively, if left to dry, they can be layered atop one another. 

Available both individually & in specially curated sets, the sheer variety of nib sizes & styles such as the 0.7mm PC-1MR, 3-19mm PCM-22 or 1-10mm PCF-350 ensures you have a POSCA for every occasion.

Want to try something new?  Well, the versatility of POSCA markers opens countless creative avenues you may not have considered before!

Mixed Media Work

Sure, maybe using POSCA on a canvas or sketchbook is predictable... but it is satisfying! 

Whether it's a basic sheet of paper, card, Bristol board, crêpe or even papier mâché, POSCA markers adhere perfectly and (most importantly) permanently with no special preparation required.  You can achieve some incredible effects too, such as a watercolour style finish (if the surface is thick enough, of course). 

Although no fixative is necessary for these techniques, applying a water-based varnish with help to optimise conservation over time whilst allowing you to pick whatever finish you prefer.

Personalise Your Home

It’s your place, so make it yours. 

Whether it’s metal, wood, ceramic or porcelain, POSCAs are the perfect medium to create your very own beautiful décor. 

Their bold colouring & opaque application means you’re able to personalise mugs, vases, picture frames and more with vibrant patterns, colours or effects, ensuring each item in your home is unique.

Customise Your Clothes

We all express ourselves outwardly with our clothing, so why not make it your own? 

Able to be applied, mixed or layered on both natural & synthetic materials, POSCA markers make it easier than ever to personalise t-shirts, jackets, trainers, boots, hats & more. 

Once finished and dry, they can even be made permanent through several different methods. 

For instance, you can iron your design from the reverse side, being sure to moderate the temperature depending on the fabric.  For extra protection, a sheet of greaseproof paper can be placed between the fabric & iron. 

Alternatively, if the fabric isn’t suitable for ironing, you can even use a hairdryer.  Just be sure to maintain at least a 30cm distance from the surface, being sure to make small circular movements as you go.

So, if you’re ready to elevate your creative game, why not experiment and explore the endless possibilities of POSCA markers?
