SUCH STORIES
Such Stories is the collaborative design studio of illustrator and ceramicist Laura Carlin and creative director Jo Briggs.
With a love for tile murals, working across both commercial and private commissions we believe in crafting narratives that allow us to pause, celebrating the familiar and allowing for discovery as we seek to tell each unique story of place. Together we work on surfaces spanning ceramics, paper, wood, fabric, metals, walls, floors and doors.
