The Maker
The Hands behind the Artefacts
A quiet discipline of binding, sculpting, and intention — crafted one book at a time.
My work sits at the intersection of traditional bookbinding, mixed-media sculpture, and quiet ritual practice.
Every tome follows a process shaped by material, structure, and intention — sewn, shaped, and finished entirely by hand.
I work without templates. No editions, no replicas. Each book is a single creation built for one keeper, informed by their needs, their path, or their narrative.
The Maker
I began as a bookbinder in the quiet, practical way most craftsmen do:
learning by doing, learning by failing, learning by running my hands over every material I could find. Leather, paper, pigment, metal, resin, cloth. My path has never followed a straight line, but every detour has become part of my work.
Over the years, my skills grew in many directions at once—traditional binding, illustration, marbling, clay sculpting, finishing techniques, and the small alchemies that come from working with light, texture, and time. I learned from workshops, from old manuals, from makers far more experienced than me, and from the stubborn discipline of teaching myself what no one could show me. Some things came through intuition, others through repetition, and many through the quiet attention that only craft can teach.
Magical Bindery is the home of that foundation:
the steady, honest side of my work—journals meant to be used, repairs, commissions rooted in function and care.
Arcane Atelier is where another part of my craft lives.
The part shaped by instinct rather than instruction.
The part that works slowly, deliberately, and often in silence.
Here, materials are chosen not just for durability, but for the way they hold light, colour, memory, or ritual presence. Here, every piece begins with a question rather than a plan.
I do not rush these works.
I follow the pace the piece demands—sometimes structured, sometimes intuitive, always precise. Each artefact grows layer by layer, guided as much by hand and material as by concept.
This space is not about volume or repetition.
It is about depth, patience, and the kind of craft that unfolds only when time is allowed to stretch.
Welcome to the part of my work that asks you to look slowly.
