SUCH STORIES
WE TELL TALES
Such Stories is the collaborative studio of illustrator Laura Carlin and designer Jo Briggs. We make art for buildings, public spaces and everyday life, spanning sculpture, illustration, ceramics, textiles and interiors.
From permanent public artworks and large-scale ceramic murals to books and objects, our work starts with looking closely at the world around us. We join forces with architects, cultural organisations, public bodies, businesses and private clients to create ideas that bring character, curiosity and a story of place to the environments we share.
