Papermaker and Book Artist Lucy Baxandall with Jamie Thome

 On 04 June 2020, we visited papermaker and book artist Lucy Baxandall based in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, and in London. She has worked as a financial journalist, jewellery designer/maker, translator and teacher of French, German and art in the UK and the USA.  

From 2008 to 2010, she was artist in residence at John Mason School in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and remained at JMS as an art teacher until 2011. After returning to London from Oxford, she taught at the London Centre for Book Arts, and now teaches 2D and 3D papermaking at Morley College and West Dean College. She also runs papermaking and book arts workshops for groups and individuals at her studio in Berwick and around the UK, and occasionally translates for academic publications.

The move north in 2018 has allowed her to open a bricks and mortar shop, Lucy at Tidekettle Paper alongside her studio at 16 Bridge Street, Berwick.
