Made to Order Custom Studiobooks & Original prints from our studio collection, contemporary papers & fabrics from selected artisan makers. Our new 'FlatIron' Arches sketchbooks are in! Fold-flat loveliness that lets you work right across the pages.

We are constantly adding to our book stock, so check-in regularly with us for an update on new arrivals or why not add us to your favourites for immediate updates when we add new listings... Book papers and book blocks are all case-bound volumes, hand cut and stitched. We print each metre of book cloth & decorative paper with original lino prints & woodcuts from our collections and don't use machines at any stage of production, apart from our two book presses. Our books are beautiful, hardworking & hard-wearing, suitable for wet or dry media. Using the finest papers for our books, we constantly outsource smaller, artisan producers for exclusive decorated papers & bookcloths.

Our books are made to be used, so the ideal paper is durable, strong & flexible. Our more expensive editions are therefore, made of 60 - 100% cotton whose long fibres intertwine to produce exceptional strength. Wherever possible, we use recycled and/or recyclable materials in our bindings and packaging. I'm a fine art print maker, lecturing for more than twenty-five years. I also make books, which extends the possibilities of the printed image. Why not have an object that is useful as well as beautiful? Why not have a unique print that you can take with you?
