Fern Dale Makers Studio

The Studio Paper Binder

Paperwork worth keeping

38 blank A4 templates for the bench, the market stall and the binder. Every section is included, ready to print and fill in by hand.

Paper is a good start. The studio does the rest.

These sheets are made from the same forms makers use inside Fern Dale Makers Studio. They're handy for a clipboard at the bench, a market stall or a paper binder. On paper, though, you still do every sum yourself and copy the same details from sheet to sheet.

  • Soap lye, percentages, allergens and costs are worked out for you.
  • Recipes, batches, PIFs and tests all stay together in one product, with shared details filled in once.
  • Stock comes off automatically when you make a batch, and you can see which supplier lot went into what.
  • Every record is searchable, backed up and ready to print whenever you need a paper copy.

The Studio Paper Binder — £25

All 38 templates, yours to print as often as you like. A one-off payment, separate from any studio plan.

This is digital content you can download straight away, so no refund is given once you've paid, unless a template is faulty. The price is a licence for your own maker business only — sharing or copying the templates ends your licence and can lose you access to the templates and your studio account.
