We are the Children of the Witches they didn’t burn – A5

Description

Every Woodle Book has been hand made in Kent, where Aimee’s studio is. Each book has been carefully put together to make the perfect notebook.  The books are made to feel great in your hands and not be too heavy in a bag for travelling. They have all been bound so even people who are left-handed can use them with comfort and ease as they all open flat, this sort of attention to detail is what makes Woodle Books extra special. Aimee was trained at Windsor Castle in Book Conservation, these techniques are used in the notebooks she makes so these lovely notebooks can be passed down as family heirloom if you wanted for a good few hundred years. 

All endpapers are sourced from incredibly talented designers and are not the work of Woodle Books. Designs are fromLagom ,who have sourced and work closely with a wide range of amazing designers and artists like Hanna Werning and Naomi Wilkinson, splatter papers are from master marbler Jemma Lewis.

WE ARE THE GRANDAUGHTERS OF THE WITCHES YOU COULDN’T BURN – paraphrased from the 2015 Tish Thawer novel The Witches of BlackBrook – is now a commonly seen slogan at feminist protests.

Witches are the original feminist, strong, outspoken women in a town who maybe were considered to be more trouble then wanted and rumours about them were already probably rampant when the witches craze happened these poor women were the first to be accused. Women turning on women is not a new phenomenon but one that is always troubling – in current affairs hearing women want to take our rights to body autonomy away is more frustrating than the pig headed men who just want control. We as Women need to hold each other accountable but also lift each other up and shout us from the roof tops.
