J&B The Shop Book


Above and below a sneaky peek at whats to come from us early next week
We have been busy collecting together all of our favorite photos to produce a little book about us as two makers and our collaboration at 158 a Columbia rd. The little booklet will come with a little envelope snuggled amongst the pages with some of our post cards featuring images of our work.
Also included is a map drawn for us by Emma Lewis.
Each book will be a complete one off as we are hand decorating the covers and hand binding each one with rags and string.

We will keep you updated and let you know as soon as all the finishing touches are complete

Have a great weekend all
