As well as being a bookbinder, I also accept commissions for wigs and head adornments made from a variety of materials including paper, linen bookcloth and milliner's crinoline. The institutions and clients I have worked with include the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Lakeland Arts (Cumbria), The Fashion Museum Bath (Somerset), The National Museum of Singapore, and also The Francesca Galloway Gallery (London). A selection of my recent work is below, and if you wish to discuss a proposed project further in this field please get in contact.
