How to Sharpen A Pencil by David Rees

While reading the LZ twitter feed, I came across this entertaining film, How to Sharpen  Pencils by David Rees.

Rees, is an Artisanal Pencil Sharpener who shares his expertise and knowledge of the history, tools and the art of pencil sharpening.

It’s an award winning film, humorist and instructive that will make you laugh or eager to start sharpening your pencils for next semester. Enjoy!

If you are looking for a way to relax and de-stress before final exams, thumb through our collection of Design Annuals and the Zine Library, both of which offer creative ideas, inspiration or just plain fun that would help clear your mind — and relax.
