Cataloguing projects:

Between 2015 and 2018, each of my major projects had a book that I put together to capture the key relationships and connections encountered. These were published personally through Apple Books, but sadly with the withdrawal of this superb facility, I have stopped making these; in part down to the cost and also in part due to the fact that I have not found an interface that I find so adaptable, intuitive and user friendly, with such beautiful results.

The projects catalogued were as follows, and I have copies at my stalls that are available for people to view:

  • Lost and Found (2015-6), cataloguing the exploration of Soil Hill north of Halifax, Isaac Button’s old workshop, my early associations with pancheons – and my conversations (and shared enthusiasm for sourcing locally) with the Handmade Bakery, Slaithwaite….
  • Clee Hill; clay, landscape and people (2015-17), designed to capture the beautiful, stark landscapes of the hill, its industrial archaeology and ecology, the clay, the links to local brick making, and baking – still at the centre of Cleehill village life….
  • Local (2017), with a series of photographs that describe the exploration of my local, Worcestershire clay and a new aspect of function, centred around the occasional consumption of a pint of beer and unique sense of community that can develop in a local pub.

    1. Hi Tatyanna, thanks so much for your message. It’s lovely to get that kind of feedback. The books were in a soft back, half A4 format, and I have one left back in the workshop in mint condition – I think for the Clee Hill work. I could post you that one?It’s the last one of the print run. I’m in London this week – but I’ll check it when I get home, and if you’re still interested – post it all the long way south next week? Thanks again – Rupert
