Fore Edge Painting

Fore edge painting is an English heritage craft, with very few professional practitioners in the UK. It is a beautiful and highly skilled art form, which requires much time and patience - and, of course, a love of books. I work primarily with second-hand books and/or books from independent bookstores so as to give older books a new lease of life and support the continuation of small independent bookshops.
