New hand bound journals will be in stock Proper lovely tomorrow.
Lived and loved OS maps bound with a twin needle Coptic stitch around 140gsm multi media paper.
Also a little teeny notebook with a stencil print cover.
If you have a favourite spot you would like placing on a cover or you have paper you would like me to bind, just get in touch.
These books open out completely flat, perfect for sketching, drawing, light washes, coloured pencils and charcoal.
Perhaps turn it into a commonplace book - I can always include some lined pages on which to make an index.

I have been creating this unique new sketchbook for Proper lovely
It is entitled Little Lochan and the covers are woodblocks printed by hand using indigo watercolours. The textures were made by bashing the block against rocks before carving lines amongst them. It was carved in 2022 in Glencoe after walking around the Lochan.
I printed these last week whilst on holiday in Keswick, with a fine view of Latrigg from the kitchen window.
The binding is a twin needle Coptic/ Ethiopian style and the 112 pages are lovely 140gsm multimedia cartridge paper from Seawhite of Brighton
The book will be in the shop tomorrow morning, just in time for Father’s Day………..

New stock delivered today for .lancaster
I am delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate on some of these books with Rachel Evans .lion.studio
I have bound four little books with her original hand printed monotypes and they look great! Mixed media paper of 140gsm means they are suitable for writing, sketching, light washes, charcoal, oil pastel etc. They are bound using longstitch, twin needle coptic or French link with tapes and open out completely flat.

I have been running a new two session workshop which combines printmaking and bookbinding.
The first afternoon we created abstract collagraph plates by tearing away and gluing onto a mountboard plate. This created textures which we then rolled over with ink and printed. We explored ghost prints for endpapers and double dropping for interesting experimental results.
The following week we used these prints to make the cover boards for two books.
The first binding was a traditional French link and tapes to which we added covers front and back and left the spines exposed. The second was a less complex lovely Longstitch binding.
Although I have been bookbinding for a while now this was the first time for teaching and we did run over into a third session! With brilliant feedback we figured out how I could tweak the sessions to make them run to schedule next time. Time management is not one of my strongpoints!!!
Our four printmakers now have two lovely books to fill and are hopefully inspired to keep exploring the wonderful world of bookbinding…….
My next workshop will be in November when I think this time we will bind the two books with Longstitch and double needle Coptic binding.
