Custom Handmade Sketchbook
Custom Handmade Sketchbook
Designed around your ideas. Crafted slowly, by hand.
An Artjournal should feel personal from the very first page.
If you have something particular in mind — a favourite paper, a certain size, a special cover — I would be delighted to create it with you.
Each journal is bound by hand in my small bindery, and together we can choose the details that make it truly yours.
• paper type and weight
• size and page count
• cover materials and colours
• binding style and finishing touches
Do you have loose material that you would like bound? Good news, we also offer loose page binding!
Whether for writing, sketching, gifting or marking a special moment, a custom journal becomes something quietly meaningful.
If you would like to explore the possibilities, simply get in touch or check our FAQ page. I’m always happy to discuss ideas and guide you through the options.

ART PAPER:
- ARTISANAL ART PAPER Tree-free and eco-friendly, this cotton rag paper is made from 100% upcycled textile fibres, sourced straight from the hills of India. Each sheet is mould-made, sun-dried, and finished with softly deckled edges that celebrate traditional papermaking. Lightly textured and beautifully responsive, it is suitable for all media, offering both character and versatility.
- MODERN ART PAPER: For a contemporary, performance-led option, paper is sourced to suit your exact needs — whether watercolour, mixed media, or marker work. Typically, high-quality papers such as Arches or Fabriano are selected, in hot or cold press, to ensure the surface, weight, and feel are perfectly matched to your project.
