A general note about my work:

All of my work is handmade by me. No two pieces are identical and that’s part of the charm of handmade work. Please allow for minor variations in appearance from what is shown in website photos.

A note about materials:

Because many handmade papers are used in the production of my items, variations in inclusions or paper tone may vary. I will make all attempts to ensure consistency through the product styles. In addition, differences in computer monitor settings may affect the appearance of my work on your screen. If you would like a sample of the exact paper/materials that will be used, please let me know. Feel free to contact me regarding any other concerns or questions.

Custom Orders:

If you want a book, but have different colors/patterns/textures/sizes in mind, please let me know. I have access to hundreds of papers and other materials that could be used to create your dream project. I would love to brainstorm the possibilities with you.

In the event that you are dissatisfied with your purchase, I am happy to perform an exchange or refund as long as you contact me within 10 business days after having received your order. Items should be in new and salable condition. Shipping costs will not be refunded. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Custom orders are not refundable.

Upcoming Events

Book Arts Intensive Studio Place Arts (SPA) | Barre, VT | February 20, 2012

Tuesday, February 20, 2012: 10:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (1/2 hour lunch break)

This one-day, intensive workshop will provide participants with the basics for making a variety of artist books. The workshop will emphasize the accordion book, a deceptively simple book structure. While the basic folded form is easy and quick to produce, it can be adapted into more complex and creative books. In this workshop, participants will create several books based on the accordion structure – the basic accordion, panel book, the flexagon, and the flag book. In addition, the structures will incorporate artist trading cards that will be created during the workshop.

Participants are encouraged to bring materials/tools for both decorating the book covers and creating the artist trading cards. Additional materials will be available for use during the class. In this workshop, each participant will leave class with four completed books and a basic knowledge of bookbinding technique. You will receive a detailed handout and resource list for all materials we use. No previous experience required – this is a great class for a beginner.

Cost: Members $55.00 /Non-Members $65.00

Materials fee: $10.00

Supplies: Awl, bonefolder, ruler, X-Acto knife or utility knife, cutting mat, scissors, pencil, glue brush, glue stick.

Note: Bring the the supplies if you have them – don’t feel obligated to buy anything. I’ll have extras available.

Optional materials/tools: Collage materials (small bits of handmade paper, fabric, fibers, etc.), photos, rubber stamps and pads, markers, pens, colored pencils, and decorative scissors.

Note: These materials will be used for creating content for your books.

To register, call the Studio Place Arts office at (802) 479-7069.
