Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Oil

Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Oil

Cranfield is a family-run British colour maker with a heritage spanning three generations, rooted in traditional craftsmanship and a deep respect for artists’ needs. Originating from the ink-making heart of London in the late 1920s, the brand was formally established in 1976 to preserve time-honoured colour-making methods as industrial processes began to disappear. By combining historic machinery, rare expertise, and carefully selected raw materials, Cranfield produces exceptional inks and paints trusted for their richness, permanence, and performance. Today, staying true to its artisan origins, Cranfield continues to create colour as it should be - made with integrity, skill, and lasting quality.
