Welcome to my website of handmade books and boxes.
On the left are a selection of some of the books, boxes and cards I have made.
I like to use beautiful papers, upcycle ephemera like old maps and comics, anything that catches my eye really. I have recently taken to stitching the bookcloth which makes a feature of the spine. Go to the Books page and it's on the 3rd row, second from right.

thank you for a super day yesterday. Sophie and I really enjoyed the book binding course and your tuition and patience meant we are both really pleased (and a little proud!) with our hand made notebooks. I suspect Sophie's won't make it on her travels, she is so keen to use it now!
Thanks for a really interesting workshop, I'm thrilled with the books I made!
Thanks for the beautiful books Ken! My mother Julie had two notebooks custom made for myself & my husband for our 1st year anniversary & Xmas gifts. They are beautifully crafted & will be treasured forever. What a perfect gift & professionally made too. Thanks again, Kirsty & Robb Denovan
The books are beautifully made and presented. Ken helped me choose the size, colours and cover to make a lovely personalised gift for my sister.
Ken's boxes are beautifully made. They are ideal as gift boxes but they are also lovely objects in their own right.
Beautiful boxes which were made with great attention to detail. It was lovely to be able to choose the papers for each one and it made them very special and personal presents.
