Maker's bio

The Leaf Press is the studio name of surface pattern designer and papercut artist Suzy Dobson. I create colourful designs which I sell on stationery, wedding invitations and pictures. The Leaf Press was originally a bookbinding studio but has evolved over the years so that papercut style designs are my speciality. I have been teaching adults since 2009 and am very excited to have started offering workshops in my own studio in 2023. Students have described it as a 'bright, calming space' and with a maximum of 4 students you can be sure of a friendly and relaxed learning experience where you can work at your own pace but receive help when you need it. I look forward to welcoming you to a workshop and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Angela Adams reviewed: Handmade books - Introductory workshop

"A well-delivered and well-paced course. Great for beginners with little or no book-making knowledge. The small group of four allowed Suzy to help each person when required. This lady knows what she's doing and it was clear Suzy had taught this subject/course before due to her attention to detail. "

The Leaf Press responded:

"Thank you so much for your review Angela. I'm really glad you enjoyed the workshop and hope you are happy with your lovely books. "

Veronica Gilbert reviewed: Handmade books - make a coptic binding lay-flat book

"Excellent course in a relaxed environment. Suzy provided all the materials and tools we needed, including a choice of materials, patterns and colours. Suzy is a great teacher, giving clear explanations, hints and tips. She is very patient and very generous with her time and knowledge. Everyone completed their books and the results were lovely. Suzy gave us enough information and confidence to make more books at home. Highly recommended."

The Leaf Press responded:

"Thank you for attending another workshop Veronica and thank you so much for this review too! I'm glad you enjoyed the workshop and your book was lovely. "
