The Studio

Working with poets and communities to self-publish their craft in hand-bound editions

Commissioned by Homely Poetry, this project captures the essence of a space where poetry is raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically honest. Hosted at Ram Jam, Homely Poetry has become a home for voices that speak freely—whether tender or X-rated, confessional or untamed.
Well Books worked closely with Homely Poetry to bring this debut collection to print, preserving the energy of the live nights in a carefully designed publication. From editorial selection to book design and production, this project honours spoken word in its most visceral form—now bound and ready to be held.
The First Edition was released at Well Books Fair on March 7th, this collection is a printed archive of voices that have left their mark on the mic.

Commissioned by Ham House (National Trust), this project brought together poets from Ham Youth Club to explore the themes of Blossom and Spring. Through their collected works, we created a beautifully crafted book that captures the essence of their words in a natural and elegant design. Produced in a limited print run, the book is displayed at Ham House and shared at local fairs, celebrating both poetry and the changing seasons.
