Manuscript Maps

28/05/2026

On Saturday 06 June I’m giving two workshops in Durham at ! 🗺️✍️

There are still places available for each workshop. This is a great opportunity to learn a new hobby (which doesn’t cost much to do!), or start crafting a special handmade gift for someone.

Suitable for ages 12+

We can be flexible too - if you want to do a fantasy map but can only come in the afternoon, or vice versa, we can make it work 👍

Please let others know, especially anyone in the North East!

My maps are now available in TWO sizes! 🗺️🗺️
AND I can ship mounted maps up to 14”x18” size worldwide!!! 🌏

One of the most common comments I get at markets is “Ooh, I love that, but not sure where it would fit.”

Well, I’ve spent the last few weeks photographing, editing pictures, and reprogramming variants on both ManuscriptMaps.com and Etsy.

Large maps like Whisky, Gin, Shipping Forecast are now also available at a reduced 30x40cm print size (14”x18” with mount).

All originally smaller maps like Viking, Yorkshire, Anglo-Saxon, Venice, Lindisfarne etc are now also available as a 22x30cm print (11”x14” with mount).

Custom sizes are of course available too, since I have my own large format printer. 🖨️

What’s better than a map? 🤔
Two maps! 😍

My BOGO sale is back. 🙌 Buy two map prints, and one will be 80% off!

This is a great opportunity to get someone that perfect gift, and treat yourself at the same time! Or be greedy and treat yourself to two - you deserve it!

Many of my maps pair up perfectly! Anglo-Saxon and Roman Britain, Whisky and Gin, Paris and Venice.

Ends 28 February.

Brilliant people of ! There are four spaces left for this Saturday’s Map Drawing Workshop at .

Normally it would be a “real place” workshop, but if you’d prefer to do a fantasy map, that works too!

Sign up asap! Tickets include fine paper and drawing materials for you to keep.

BURNS’ NIGHT is tomorrow! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃
To celebrate, Whisky Map prints are 25% off, and tea towels and jigsaws are 15% off! 🙌

The Scotland Whisky Map is my best seller! Just imagine one framed and up next to your whisky collection. Perfect! 👌🏻

Entirely drawn by hand, it took me 3 months to research and draw.

You can even have your print personalised with an inscription, or your favourite distillery featured.

Visiting Colorado and popped into to have a look around at all the fabulous art! They have a HUGE selection of illustrated maps from artists like me, and loads of antique maps too! Plus puzzles and other cool art prints.

Of course I had a look for my maps, and discovered that both my Moon Map and Colorado Ski Map sold out yesterday! 😲 But they’re printing more! 👍

For anyone visiting the Denver area, a trip to Boulder is a MUST! And of course, if you find yourself in Boulder, you have to check out all of Art Source International’s amazing maps and art.

Coolest shop in Boulder!!! 😎

🎉 Happy New Year everyone! 🎊

2025 has been great. 😊

Sold maps in a few big successful markets, taught some lovely folks how to draw maps by hand, drew a new map of the Yorkshire Dales, gave a talk at Greenwich Maritime Museum, started selling in a new shop in Leeds, redesigned my jigsaw puzzles and expanded the range…

… and SOLD MORE MAPS THAN IN ANY PREVIOUS YEAR!

Here’s to 2026!

This is my 10th year at Durham Christmas Market! 🙌

Way back in 2015 I shared a stall with . We were both just starting out.

Manuscript Maps has grown from 1/2 a stall and a part-time hobby business to 2 stalls now and my full time occupation.

That’s what hundreds of people supporting small business over the years can do! 🙌
