WELCOME TO THE BOOK STUDIO
Learning about bookbinding opened up a new path for me. I was a vet for many years, taking early retirement, before embarking upon a second career in bookbinding. I went from repairing old books, to the designing and making of new ones and finally to teaching the skills of bookbinding.
In 2004 I was awarded joint first prize in the annual Designer Bookbinders competition, followed by a Highly Commended in the same event in 2007. I have exhibited with the Designer Bookbinders, London in 2005 2006 2007 2008 and 2009. My work is now more directed towards the artistic side of bookmaking and to teaching.
The Book Studio is not a commercial bindery. I am happy to help anyone who wants a special binding on a particular book or on one they are putting together themselves. I can also offer advice on where to get help for most binding projects – just email or give me a call.
