Bookbinding
I make sketchbooks, notebooks and bespoke books using handmade, watercolour and pattern papers, leather, vellum and linen. Each book is bound 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 like simplicity in both form and design so that the materials can speak for themselves. I aim to make books that feel calm and subtle, enlivened by areas of colour, pattern or texture. The tactile nature of a book is also important to me; there is something magical about the feel of a book in your hands and the movement of the turning pages. The books are practical and are made to be used and to last.
As well as making books for sale and to commission, I repair books and teach bookbinding.
