Sulien Books

During the summer of 2014 I produced small books on the medieval stone grotesques at Gresford and the stained glass at the Church of St Mary, Tenby. The first was a special limited edition book to accompany my summer exhibition, 'Patterns Monsters and Mysteries', while the second was commissioned by the Friends of St Mary's.

I subsequently decided to establish an imprint to publish similar books in the future, and the first to be published by Sulien Books is similar to the Gresford book, featuring more new images from the summer exhibition, which travelled to Tregaron in October 2014. The Medieval Tiles of Strata Florida also summarises the history of the site and decribes the medieval artworks on which the images are based.

Spreads from the book are shown below. Please contact me to order copies.

Further publications from Sulien Books will be small books based either on my own artwork or on stained glass and other ecclesiastical visual culture. The books have been printed at Y Lolfa, Talybont, in west Wales, who printed and also published my larger book Stained Glass from Welsh Churches (June 2014).

A new website will soon be available with more information on the press.

If you are interested in commissioning photography, design and the writing of guides and leaflets about stained glass or other artworks in churches please feel free to contact me about this.
