Welcome TO A digital page in my analog space.

I’m Moneeza Khan— bookbinder, educator, artist, block printer, vintage textile collector, expert daydreamer and everyday beauty seeker. Some call this being a multifaceted artist, I prefer to call it being Curiously Creative; this is how I like to live.

My work is inherently slow and immersive, a welcome pace in a world racing ahead. I work in small batches of one-of-a-kind journal collections, limited edition studio accessories and annual pre-orders from my home studio in in the Lake District, Northern England.
