So Walk On Air Against Your Better Judgement

This line - “So Walk On Air Against Your Better Judgement” comes from a poem by Seamus Heaney, itself a translation of a verse by a German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It has been quoted on several occasions, notably by Bill Clinton when reflecting on those who negotiated and signed the Good Friday Agreement. 

 ‘Our Wee Country’ related pieces quietly acknowledge events and groups that have shaped the history of Ireland, particularly in the North. They do not celebrate what happened, instead, they offer a simple, reflective nod to their place in a complex and often difficult past.
A donation from the sale of every piece relating to ‘The Troubles’ will be made to a charity supporting children and communities affected by conflict.

Our Belfast Delft tiles are true ceramic piece - Kiln fired to 850°C in our Belfast studio each tile begins as an original watercolour sketch by Stephen. Inspired by the iconic blue and white Delftware of the Netherlands, itself influenced by Chinese Ming dynasty porcelain, these tiles blend tradition with a contemporary, playful spirit. Each piece is reflective and experimental. They tell small visual stories designed to spark conversation.

Each tile is approx. 10cm x 10cm, and it comes with its own little easel.
