THE MOOR DWELLERS' GUIDE
The booklet is available to buy on the Cornish Heritage Trust website. All profits go towards supporting the charity and protecting the unique cultural and physical landscape of Cornwall.
During my final year at Falmouth University, I participated in this collaborative project in conjunction with the Cornish Heritage Trust to produce a front and back cover illustration for 'The Moor Dwellers' Guide.
The booklet intends to celebrate the cultural and natural beauty of this Celtic nation, home to many iconic folktale creatures from Giants to Piskies. Inside the booklet contains poems written by Falmouth students and local poets, delving into the mystery and magic of the various ancient sites including stone circles and hillforts.
After discussion with the people commissioning me, we decided that a front cover full of various folk creatures from the poems would best represent the project.
I wanted to ensure the Celtic heritage of Cornwall was present too, exploring Celtic patterns to create a decorative border.
