I’ve made a bunch of new pieces to be used at an event at @sowerbybridgefireandwater this weekend. @imaginary_wines and @wip_tod asked me to produce a set of vessels to be used to serve cocktails and non alcoholic drinks at the event and to be kept by @sowerbybridgefireandwater afterwards as the renovation of the old fire station and swimming pool continues. I made a set of 16 cups to drink from, a large wall hanging face, and 2 jugs. The faces on the jugs are based on 2 corner stones on the back of the (old) Star Inn in Sowerby (now The New Rushcart Inn). If you’d like to drink from one, head over to @sowerbybridgefireandwater in Sowerby Bridge this Saturday the 24th August. (Photos taken quite hastily as it was quite a tight turnaround)

Amy McCauley’s 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. An edition of 150, now sold out. A publication I designed, printed, and bound with @r_r_c_o_ in November 2020, under @monitorbooks . With screenprinted covers by @johnpowell_jones I read the first draft of it about a year before, sat in @grapefruitcoffeeand it’s an amazing text.
