Beautiful handmade books that are a cut above the rest

Try your hand at bookbinding in the East Sussex countryside.

If you like the idea of making your own beautiful book, in an idyllic setting, then get in touch. We offer 1-1 or small group workshops of up to three people in our studio in Iden, East Sussex. You will spend the day with Philippa going through the foundations of artisan binding, and come out with a beautiful creation! This is a very friendly, relaxed experience that is suitable for absolute beginners. Available on weekdays throughout the year (excluding school holidays). Enquire now to book a date.

"The day I spent with two friends, learning the basics of bookbinding, was one of the most enjoyable I’ve ever had. The studio is beautifully laid out, ready for Philippa’s students to get on with making their own book in just a few hours.
