How do I order?
Visit the workshop or write to us. For skins to order we agree the finish, size and timing together.
Is this for writing or binding?
Both. We prepare writing vellum for calligraphy and binding vellum for covers, matched to the work.
Can you match a skin for conservation?
Often, yes. We prepare skins for conservation and repair, matched to the work in hand. Tell us about it and we will advise.
Do you supply cut sizes and offcuts?
Yes. We supply cut sizes and offcuts for makers and students, so you get the right piece for the job.
Do you prepare vellum to order?
Yes. We prepare vellum and parchment by hand to your finish and size. Tell us the work and we will advise and prepare a quote.
What does vellum cost?
It depends on the skin, the finish and the size. Tell us what you have in mind and we will give you a clear price.
Do you advise makers?
Yes. We advise calligraphers, binders and conservators on skin, finish and use.
