Each book is made slowly by hand in my studio in West Somerset, using traditional bookbinding techniques and archival materials, with a contemporary feel. I'm inspired by the natural beauty of paper, linen and leather, and 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.
