Would you like to produce that book you’ve always thought about?

If you’ve been going through the photo albums, maybe put your words to paper or filed them away on the computer and wish to make a lasting gift for a loved one, family, friends, colleagues or a wider audience we can take it to the natural conclusion. We produce beautiful high quality books, in hard or soft back formats. In a range of sizes and finishing options for any length of book.

Working one to one with you, we offer a full range of services including helpful advice, design, scanning, photography, copy writing, proof reading and printing.

We are happy to talk through any project that you’ve been putting off, or perhaps wasn’t sure of the next step. We can also come to you (within geographical limitations) to show our large portfolio of completed books.

If you’ve got a scruffy typed up manuscript or tatty, battered and aging photographs stuck in an album or frame, we can scan, photograph, retouch and enhance the seemingly impossible, to give you a lasting book you can be proud of. With access to illustrators and image libraries, we can add visual elements and great design to bring your book to life. Digital versions are also available if required.

From one, right through to hundreds or even thousands of copies, there is a huge range of options to give you the perfect product, be it a gift for a loved one, the family or a even a commercial enterprise. We have also won the highly prestigious Murdoch Medal and USGA Herbert Warren Wind Awards for our work.

Nothing is more important than getting your big day right. This means very careful planning and attention to detail. I always aim to get a good rapport going not only with the Bride and Groom, but also with all the families and your guests.

This gives natural, relaxed looking images and much more enjoyment all round.

I love the outdoors, whenever possible I’m out of the office or house, whether it’s on two wheels across the Surrey Hills, on foot with the family or by the coast, I relish the fresh air and I’m constantly looking for insects, birds, amphibians, crustaceans, mammals or reptiles. Wind, rain or snow be dammned.

Testimonials
  • Bjorn Wood
    Owner of Buttacup

    When I met with Stephan at Artefact Design all I had was an idea and a few product samples. He gave me an identity, a marketing plan, commercial website, photography, packaging, literature, exhibtion stand and more. We now have more products online and Artefact continues to support and develop my ideas into a reality. I highly recommend their services to anyone.

  • Elaine Murray
    Marketing Director at Applicable Ltd

    We have worked with Artefact for over 8 years, in that time Artefact has rebranded our company and produced a multitude of marketing material from, brochures, eshots, internal documentation, lanyards to mugs. More recently and with our continued growth, when we moved into larger premises they produced all the interior design ideas over two floors and two whole buildings. This included unique and original illustration work and careful attention to detail. We now have a vibrant and welcoming place in which to work. We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship.

  • Mary Pain

    Stephan took the scruffy, poorly typed A4 sheets of which my books consisted and turned them into an extremely handsome volume whose good quality has been commented on by readers. He gave clear explanations, examples and advice on what was available and possible, and dealt patiently with my changes of mind during the process. I am delighted with the result.

  • Bramley Golf Club
    Editor of Bramley Golf Club's '100 Years of Golf'

    Artefact worked with myself and the General Manager in producing a lasting memory in the form of a book that the Club can be proud of. Every stage was explained and worked through to create a quality product that should last the next 100 years!

  • Joanna Houstoun
    Author

    I so wanted to see my memories in print but had no idea how to go about it. Everyone said ,’ oh it’s easy - just go online’. But not for me! So I was delighted when a friend introduced me to Stephen. He was happy to come to the house and in a relaxed atmosphere we discussed what I wanted to achieve - the layout, what photos to add, the chapters - what I wanted in MY BOOK. The result is one I am so proud of, is much admired for its very high quality. Thank you Stephen for your, advice, patience and expertise.

  • Peter Bareau
    Author

    After recommendations from two friends I started working with Stephan ten years ago. Since then, greatly aided by his skill and imagination in laying out text and images, as well as by his contacts in publishing, I have added to our knowledge of my family’s history by producing full-length books, photo-books, pictorial cards for special occasions and family trees. Stephan responds and turns things around quickly and is happy to meet in person in his garden office in Godalming and/or work remotely. Highly recommended.

  • Ken Wilbraham
    Author

    It is some 15 years since I first met Stephan. We have collaborated on a number of projects. His advice has been exemplary, knowing where and when to steer the ‘project’ in the preferred direction. I recommend Stephan to those who want to ‘put pen to paper’ and create something of which they will be very proud.
