Personal Statement

I’ve always been fascinated by paper and what can be created with it. About eleven years ago I started making journals, using new and upcycled leather, and that quickly led onto all sorts of different shapes of books and unusual stitches. As well as medieval long stitch bindings I also explored modern ways of making books incorporating origami techniques.

I sell my books in a crafts co-operative in Nineveh House in Arundel and run monthly workshops for making leather journals in my Chichester studio. I love passing on my skills and knowledge of the materials.
