If you've ever dreamed about what it would be like to see your paintings, illustrations, photography, embroidery or collage as a book, online mentoring might be just what you need to make those dreams come to life!
Read on to learn more and find out how to get started...
I'm passionate about the wonderful world of bookbinding and artist's books and I can't wait to help you navigate what might be unfamiliar terrain. There are so many options for which paths to take, which can be confusing if you've never set in this world before. I'm here, via Zoom, to guide and support you.
"Susan has been wonderful supporting me with the development of my concepts, offering expert advice and showing genuine interest and excitement for my ideas" - Hannah, Fashion Communication & Branding graduate
I'll give you the information you need without overwhelming you with specialist knowledge. I'll probably be able to offer suggestions you may not have thought of - book forms, considerations of narrative, layout, design, branding, material qualities, interactivity.
You might just need one mentoring session, or you'd like to book one-off sessions as and when you need them. That's absolutely fine. Alternatively, you might prefer the reassurance of ongoing sessions (and you get a discount when you book 3 or more).
Online mentoring is magical, but it has its limits. Firstly, it's not a step-by-step instruction or 'how-to' learning environment. It's more about conversation, reflection, input and sharing of knowledge.
"Time absolutely flew by, which shows how rich the conversation was!" - Jolie, educator
Secondly, technology might be a little unstable from time to time. There are ways around that, however.
Whatever your creative practice, whatever kind of book(s) you want to make, it all starts when you contact me to book your FREE 15 minute discovery call. We'll see if we're a good fit for working together and then you can book your session online.
I can't wait to talk to you!
Susan

What do those professional bookbinding terms mean? Can I use any kind of glue? Where do I find waxed linen thread? Do I need special paper? Is that awl as good as the one I already have? I hear you. I was you.
