Milly Reid Ode to Paper Studio

Hello! Welcome to my studio.


I’m Milly, an artist who makes sketch and mixed media journals, notebooks, art prints and greeting cards under the label Ode to Paper.

My wish is that every bound book or paper treasure which leaves my studio is a joy to use and inspires an ongoing of creative activity.

Ode to Paper offerings arrive in small series. They can be found in local shops and craft markets in and around Freiburg, as well as here in my Webshop.

Do come in and have a look around.

Collaboration with Felix of ImoriTears

Watch how clay and videography artist Felix captured my bookbinding process in the studio last winter.

Order a custom-made Journal

  • I specialise in binding sketchbooks and art journals, therefore the paper I use for the inner pages is always of high-quality and artist-grade, in either a heavyweight for mixed media techniques, or for drawing and sketching.

  • I always use binding techniques that allow each spread of the book to open completely flat, which makes it a breeze to draw, write, or paint inside.

  • I can cover your journal in a paper of your choice, whether plain, patterned or hand-painted. If time isn’t of the essence, we can talk about making a bookcloth cover from a cotton or linen fabric for a more durable finish.
