Myths and folklore inform the magical tiles of multidisciplinary artist Edith Morris. Made in Cornwall exclusively for The Shop Floor Project, each of the 22 designs feature creatures, scenes, and woodland plants that tell stories passed down through generations.

In one, a pair of Knockers (cave dwelling, 2ft tall gnome-like creatures from Cornish folklore) stand, dressed in minors clothing. In another poses Krampus, a half-goat, half-demon figure from Central European Christmas tradition who punishes naughty children.

A mythical Blemmyae (a chest-faced creature depicted throughout Medieval art), a man/lion/scorpion Manticore, a shape-shifting Púca, and the giant Jólakötturinn (that roams the snowy Icelandic countryside during the Christmas season, attacking and eating children) all have their own tiles.

The Cumbrian legend of Bella Sheephead is also featured. The story goes: a distraught milkmaid is turned into a waresheep, complete with horns, after drinking the blood of her beloved pet lamb that was killed by a fox. She then becomes bloodthirsty, eating anything that she comes across.

Each tile is handmade from glazed stoneware, with a hanging hole for wall mounting.

Check out the entire collection at The Shop Floor Project, hopefully they will be restocked!
