Delighted to have another order for one of my 9-tile heritage panels!
You can see this one and all my ceramic designs at the Edgbaston Artisan Market on 12th July.
And yes, any of my tiles can be combined to create a full 9-tile panel for your wall.

Just finished turning my Moseley Road Baths tile into a 9-tile panel, now proudly heading to a hallway in Moseley! I’ve made two, and you can see the other one this Saturday at Moseley Arts Market. All my tiles can now be made into panels.

Taking a small group on a private tour of Birmingham’s boldest Arts and Crafts buildings today.

The History from the 50 Bus tour was one of the first tours that I ran, and this overlooked gem still amazes me. 🏛️
I’m working on an app version of some tours, and this one’s definitely on the list.
Let’s explore Birmingham together.

Guided this delightfully unruly bunch on the Life and Death in Birmingham tour yesterday.
We visited the site of the city’s last public hanging—and judging by the photo, I only just avoided becoming the next one!
