About NantDesigns
-
This is a batch of paper, newly printed, on the print rack in my studio.
-
Each sheet of paper is printed individually by hand using several silkscreens.
-
Coptic binding is both decorative and allows the book to lie flat on the table
-
Zigzag or concertina folded pages create a great way of displaying pictures or photographs
-
Many books have their own presentation box
An international window for my unique books and papers
I started making books for my own use, using 'trial prints' as covers, but I never had enough.... so I started printing papers specifically for the purpose. This soon grew into making books for friends and then to sell.
Notebooks, sketchbooks and journals are constructed from first principles to create handstitched, hardback books in multiple sizes, containing lined paper, good quality cartridge or watercolour paper. Each book is covered in one of my own papers and is therefore completely handmade and unique.
An A3 sheet of paper is ideal for that special gift and so I now sell paper for wrapping. Each sheet is actually a limited edition print: the silkscreen printing process encourages you to experiment with multiple colourways and patterns and so few sheets of paper are ever the same.
