Maker's bio

I trained at the Surrey institute of Art and Design before moving to West Wales in 2004. I design and print my own papers and make books from them in my studio in an old stone barn. I run courses on many types of bookbinding for groups and clubs- please ask if you would like details. You will find my books at 'Craft in the Bay' in Cardiff and other galleries around Wales.

Greta reviewed: Coptic Bookbinding Kits in Fish Paper design

"Purchased as a Christmas gift, so I haven't explored the contents. However, it is boxed beautifully and it arrived nice and quickly. I'd love to find it under my Christmas tree! "

"Thankyou. Im sure they will love your present, Carole"

Sue reviewed: Coptic bookbinding kits in puffin design

"The kit was well packaged and I enjoyed making the book. The instruction pamphlet was clear - though I did need to look up some you tube videos to supplement the drawn instructions for the stitching itself to get the hang of it. The only real criticism I have is that the thread provided left black marks on the cartridge paper signatures as I pulled to tighten the stitching, which spoiled the look of the finished book."

Nant Designs responded:

"Thankyou for your feedback Sue-will look into this problem- perhaps a red thread might be a better choice in future, best wishes Carole "

Susan reviewed: Bookbinding kit for miniature tiny books in BLUE

"Everything but scissors was included - and some extra card/paper to play with. My adult daughter and I spent a very happy evening making these little books and it encouraged her to do a few larger ones later."

Nant Designs responded:

"Thankyou for your review Susan- sounds like you had fun- if you are inspired and would like to try another style of binding why not try coptic binding. best wishes carole"
