​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! 

    Please complete the form below with any questions you have. We aim to reply within 24 hours. Thankyou.

Every book is bound and crafted  by hand. 

I work closely with artists, writers, printmakers and creative professionals across the UK and internationally, producing bespoke sketchbooks, journals, and folios that meet your individual needs.   If you’re looking for something particular — a custom format, specific paper, or a unique binding — feel free to get in touch. I welcome commissions, and I’m happy to discuss ideas by email.
