    Hi, my name's Damian!

    I'm a chemistry teacher and during lockdown I wanted to design a notebook for myself that reflected my passion for science.

    Then my friends asked for one. Then friends of friends. Then dozens of people I didn't know.

    Since then we’ve sold over 30,000 notebooks which we're proud to say are made entirely in the UK and are of the highest quality - I'm confident you'll love writing in them.

    Thanks for reading and please message if you’ve any questions,

    Damian

    Yes, perfect for reheating your tea or coffee.

    Yes. They’re safe for the dishwasher, but we recommend hand washing to keep the print looking its best for years to come. Frequent dishwashing can gradually soften colours, especially in hard water areas or with strong detergents.

    We'll organise the return and process your refund as soon as we receive it back.

    Each design is screen printed onto specialist transfer paper, applied to the mug by hand, then kiln fired to fuse the decoration into the glaze. It’s a traditional method that gives crisp detail and lasting colour.

    Every order automatically includes a free A6 science pocket notebook (retail value £5.95).

    No code needed. It's added at checkout.

    The A6 is a different design - it makes a great companion notebook or standalone pocket journal.
