Mark Bates

I am bookbinder and printmaker producing handbound notebooks, journals and sketchbooks. I also make boxes and hand printed linocut cards. After a career in the cultural sector, I have developed my practice in bookbinding and printing, including printing my own decorative papers using linocut or marbling. Bold geometric designs, the natural world and strong colour are a feature of my work. I produce work in small batches, and many items are unique.
