This page shares information about the tools, resources and information covered during our workshop.

I buy most of my art supplies online, from several different sources depending on who is having a sale, and what I need in my order. I look for overall value in the pricing of the item, delivery cost and quality of service when ordering.

I don’t receive any commissions from these sales – and I encourage you to shop around for different pricing if that works for you. Different online stores offer sales and discounts at different times of the year, and there are other suppliers for most of the tools and materials I use.

I would love to hear from you if you do source from a different supplier – I am always on the lookout for other options to share with students, and for myself.

Click through on links that interest you. Each link will open in a new window, so you won’t lose this page. Bookmark this page in your browser so you can keep referring back to it.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Pinterest is my go to social media reference source:

  • this is my boxes board in Pinterest
  • search “handmade boxes” for a general search, or be specific and search for book structure names like “clam shell box” or “chocolate box” or “handmade boxes with trays”

 TOOLS

If you don’t have specific book making tools on hand you can generally improvise and find something that will do the same or similar job. If you want to start to build a collection of tools, these are my recommended starting point items:

RENAISSANCE WAX

This is the wax that I use to protect some papers in my bookmaking. I generally use this wax for papers where I think the colours from one paper may rub to another paper. I found a big range in price for this product, depending where you buy from, so shop around for the best price online.

LETS GO SHOPPING 🙂

Below are links to differant online stores where I but supplies and equipment form.

I have created a private Facebook group ONLY for people who have attended my workshops. The idea is you can ask me questions, we share work, and I’ll share resources and information. Click the button below to join the conversation  …
