Together with his wife Ineke they have set up the conservation and fine and design studio in South County Sligo.

We offer three bookbinding courses from different historical periods, one beginners, one intermediate and one advanced.
The bookbinding courses are held in the Ox Bindery set in the rural tranquility of the Ox Mountains, where participants can step away from the hustle and bustle of daily live and tiptoe back in time to recreate bindings from past periods. Lunches are included in each course and a 'Bed in Barn' self catering accommodation is available.
