About me

I am Paula and have a big love for books. Reading, writing and looking at the books on my bookshelf. I learned bookbinding and started combining it with my love for people.

Making personalised books on demand is the best there is! It touches me everytime when I read about the effect of a Vlinderboek for a customer.

Becouse of my love for symbolism and the sound of beautiful words, I named my company Atelier de la Baleine. I particularly find 'baleine' a beautiful word. It means whale in French and symbolises rediscovering old talents, inner truth, emotions and intuition. And that is exactly the kind of admosphere I would like to work in.

Originally i am from the Netherlands and lived in Belgium for about 9 years. Since May 2022, I live in a small vilage in France with my boyfriend and our cat. Where my workshop is also located.
