Producer of letterpress cards, prints and ephemera, printed with hand-set metal type and vintage image blocks, chapbooks, artworks and sundry curiosities; my home is in the borderlands of England and Wales.
After a year of doing a fortnightly market stall in the Butter Market in Hay-on-Wye, I opened a letterpress workshop at Hay Castle. This continued until the end of July 2024. Now I work from home In Cusop Dingle. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
The name of my imprint, fallowpages, takes its inspiration from Harmas, the home of the French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre from 1879 until his death in 1915. ‘Harmas’ means, in Provençal, a plot of uncultivated land, and indeed, Fabre used to keep a strip of just that in his garden to see what turned up. The name seemed a good fit for my various odds, ends and excursions, which often make use of chance finds and unexpected arrivals.
Apart from a few of the earlier Colva Books, nearly everything on the site comes in multiple copies and is available for sale; it’s only a sort of internet-induced lassitude that has prevented me from listing prices and paypal links, so please do contact me if anything strikes a chord.
I can be found, variously, at ...
