"The colour is simply beautiful and the paper inside feels luxurious and thick." - Erica, Spain.

Mini Journals Feature & Benefits

• High quality paper for writing & artwork. Miniature Journals have 100 pages of Superfine 115gsm unlined white paper. It's acid-free and archival, so your notes or sketches will last a lifetime. All pens glide across the paper's ultra smooth surface, colours retain their clarity. Artists even use these Minis for wet media printmaking and painting.
• Eco-friendly materials. The paper is FSC certified and manufactured by windpower, with zero greenhouse gas emissions. Feel good about your stationery choices, knowing that Cork textile is produced from the bark of the Cork Oak tree, an environmentally sustainable, naturally renewable resource, the harvesting of which is protected by law with rest periods for the trees to regenerate.
• Naturally vegan. Cork is a naturally vegan alternative to leather whilst sharing some of its properties: it's soft, yet strong and lovely to handle. It's also the truly eco-friendly alternative to 'faux' leathers, which are often made from plastic.
• Durable. Each Mini Journal is handmade in my Dorset studio using traditional bookbinding skills. The pages are collected into a single 'signature', which is sewn through the leather cover for longevity and durability. This means your handmade book will last your lifetime!
• Handmade authenticity The miniature pages feature traditional hand-torn edges, and the last page of the Mini Journal features a discreet printed colophon with maker and materials details.

"I received this rose gold Mini Journal as a 1st wedding anniversary gift and it's beautiful. I'm a papercrafter myself and truly appreciate the texture and work that went into it. It feels like leather but the cover is eco friendly cork. Love it." - Leigh, Hampshire

Responsible studio practices 

Cork is a textile so I treat the edges of these mini vegan notebooks with a plant-based substance to prevent fraying. This ensures you'll get lots of use and enjoyment from your handmade Miniature Journal over the years. 

That's not something you usually see with handmade cork journals as this extra process takes time, but I want to make the very best work so you can enjoy your purchase. 

And to minimise waste and increase my studio's sustainability, these Mini Journals are made from small pieces left over after making A5 Cork Vegan Sketchbooks.

Sustainable Stationery & Alternative Art Journals

In 2018 I launched my Sustainable Collection of sketchbooks and journals. Each book is carefully handmade with eco-friendly natural materials including cork, linen and recycled cartridge paper or 100% cotton rag papers.

There's something for every artist who loves eco-friendly art supplies, and the cork sketchbooks are vegan. Here's what you might like to buy along with the Miniature Journal to add to your sustainable stationery collection:

• A5 Cork Vegan Sketchbook: Pink Rose Gold & Grey
• A5 Cork Vegan Sketchbook: Pink Rose Gold & Turquoise
• A5 Cork Vegan Sketchbook: Natural & Grey
