Cork City Circle Tea Towel

Cork City Tea Towel

Printed on cotton fabric, with a handy little tag for hanging it up. This tea towel would also look great framed. It is light and makes a nice gift to post abroad.

My most well-loved illustration, the Cork City Circle tells the story of the River Lee as it splits in two for a short distance forming an Island, the heart of the city. The Island takes centre stage in this illustration, depicting some of Corks most well-loved buildings and landmarks, with the Lee ebbing and flowing around it. Corks iconic bridges cross the Lee showcasing Corks splendid architecture along the outer circle of the illustration.

Carefully capturing the character of Cork City, the illustration features the pink granite of St. Patrick’s Street footpaths, alongside the grey limestone and red sandstone that define much of the city's timeless charm.

Originally created for my debut exhibition ‘The Places We All Know’ at St. Peter’s Cork in 2019, this vibrant piece was brought to life using watercolour pencils, graphite, and gouache.
