Please use the form at the bottom of this page, below if you wish to contact us or need further information about placing an order with us or workshop availability & dates. studio mobile: 074 8466 3175 (Mon ~ Thurs 10.30 - 2.30) Important: Finished Book sizes - a note from the bindery.. Our sketchbooks are bound with paper sheets that are Imperial size. This means they are slightly smaller all-round then the metric 'A' sizes. This is because many historical paper manufacturers use paper sizes dating back to the 15th century and still use these measurements. So, an A4 / A5/ A6 size sketchbook will be approximately 1cm smaller all-round in size than the metric 'A' sizes. If in doubt, please ask! |
