Welcome to

The Handmade Academy

Ink, paper, and an unhurried evening. We make libraries and guides for people who would rather build something by hand than buy it finished — so that if you have never made anything like this, you can still fill a book worth keeping.

Our courses

Every course is self-paced, online, and yours for life.

The Grimoire Compendium

1,500 things to put inside your own grimoire, each with a simple guide to draw it. Beasts, herbs, sigils, star charts and maps, plus a guided project that takes you from blank paper to a bound, sealed book.
