About Cal

You can absolutely do this. All you need is a little patience and a little guidance. I truly believe that anyone has the ability to create and to create something wonderful. Don't believe me? Come along to any of my classes and find out... we can't wait to meet you.

I'm Cal. I make books - and I want to help you to make them too! 

​

I'm a tea drinking, philosophising, deep thinking sometimes sweary (but not in class unless there's a Tyvek issue but that's another story) cat loving northerner. I'm married to Mark and we live on the edge of a forest in Staffordshire in the very heart of the UK (yes, this does sound just like some sort of weird fairy tale...)

​

I have several fairy godmothers who I couldn't manage without - Mel whose magic lies in her charms, Wendy the admin whizz-ard and Sue the chief pixie in our Scrap Lab group. Couple these three with the amazing Scrap Lab DT - Ellie, Kerry, Sarah, Rizwana, Adam and Julie and I really am surrounded by the Dream Team.
