Each book is made slowly by hand in my studio in West Somerset, using traditional bookbinding techniques and archival materials, with a contemporary feel. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of paper, linen and leather, I aim to make books that feel calm and subtle, brought to life by areas of colour, pattern or texture. The tactile nature of a book is also important to me; there is something so magical about the feel of a book in your hands and the movement of the turning pages. My books are practical, made to be used and to last.

I studied Bookbinding in Brighton over 30 years ago, and have been making and repairing books and teaching bookbinding ever since. I'm a selected member of MAKE Southwest.
