The PULP team are veteran bookbinders specialised in handmade processes and creative projects. With a compassion for the earth and for our local suppliers, PULP uses strictly environmentally and socially ethical materials.

PULP is a professional ecosystem of skills exchange and development, our team includes craftsmen and apprentices from our local community to produce high quality, conscious books. We bring together concepts from digital to analogue, bulk to bespoke - our team welcomes every challenge as a rule. PULP operates collaboratively, constantly developing new designs together with local guest artists, artisans and designers. PULP is for making your ideas come to life – from pulp to production.

Alexandra Greenberg
bookbinder and artist: Alexandra Greenberg has worked at Pulp since the middle of 2024. She started with 1 day a week which soon turned into the 3-month internship and now she works full time. She is interested in all things paper and studied fine arts. Her artistic practice centers around drawing and the translation of those drawings into other more narrative forms. She likes the book as an object and artwork in and of itself beyond the content inside. There is something about the patience and repetition that grounds Alex and is seen throughout bookbinding and her drawing practice.
