How this works

Every piece has a name on it.

Who made it, where, how, and about how many hours it took — recorded against the piece before it is listed, and printed on its page as a Provenance Record you can check against the object in your hands.

It is also why the catalogue is small. Every piece has to be met, recorded and photographed before it can appear here.
