I happily take on work to make notebooks and sketchbooks to order. It’s a 10 step process, with a number of options:
- Size: A5 (21cm * 15 cm pages) at £20-25 or Sketchbook – (19cm*25cm pages) at £40-50 depending on materials chosen.
- Paper: Cartridge or Watercolour – the cartridge paper is suitable for pen / pencil. The watercolour paper is Saunders Waterford 190 gsm (Cold or Hot Pressed).
- 2a. (Optional for notebooks – tell me if you want it blank, dots, or special requests like planners or diary inserts
- Cover material (cloth, decorative paper*, buckram, or linen)
- Colour preferences – you can either leave this up to me for a surprise ‘binder’s choice’ or the following:
- 4a: Spine
- 4b: Main cover
- 4c: Inner lining / endpaper* (notebooks and sketchbooks)
- 4d: Refillable block cover paper (sketchbooks)
- Extras (ribbons, pockets, slipcase etc.,)
- Pay deposit (£10) – I will send you a payment link
- I will send you a photo of the swatch or book mockup for approval.
- On approval will make to order .
- You pay the balance
- I post the book in ~2 weeks (or deliver if local-ish to Twickenham)
* Decorative paper can either be my own paste or marbled papers (always one-offs), or specialist (Chiyogami silk-screen printed, ‘proper’ marblers etc.,) or even your own photos.
It’s usually best to email me in the first instance.
