Illuminated Bread is a unique hand crafted artist book and comes in a custom made slipcase. I have created and designed this edition from beginning to end. Lovengly made with my own hands. Illuminated Bread consist of only 20 copies only. When you buy one of my books you are not simply purchasing a physical object, you also own a piece of artwork. You hold part of who I am, my memories and personal story.

Illuminated Bread is a handmade edition artist book of 20 copies. 

Like any artwork, this book is best kept in its custom hand made slipcase. Always keep away from direct sunlight. Some pages inside the book are very delicate and you want to make sure to view the book placed on a flat surface.

Each piece is handmade and produced in a small edition so I’m not able to offer standard returns. I hope you understand because these books are created with a lot of care.

That said, if your book arrives damaged or something isn’t right, please email me within 48 hours of delivery with a photo and I’ll make it right. If I have another copy available, I’ll happily replace it; if not, I’ll offer a refund.

If a return is approved, the book must be sent back in its original condition and packaging within 7 days of approval. Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs and original shipping fees are non-refundable. 

I recommend using a tracked and insured service, as I cannot be responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.

I try to keep things as sustainable as possible. Your book may arrive in carefully reused or recycled packaging, chosen to keep it safe while reducing waste.

*Important Tax Disclaimer: For international orders, please note that any customs fees, duties or import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer, as these are set by your local authorities and are outside my control.

If you have any questions before ordering, feel free to email. I’m always happy to help. Click here to email me.
