Mostly Durham

Mostly Durham is a compilation of Stuart Fisher’s finest paintings, and includes subjects as far afield as Rome and Venice, as well as York, Oxford, Bath and other UK locations – but nearly two-thirds of the pieces are of Durham, including the cathedral and castle. The artist has exhibited several times at Durham Cathedral, and was shortlisted for the prestigious Sunday Times Watercolour Competition in 2013.

Sacristy Press (founded by two Durham alumni) would like to offer you the opportunity to purchase copies of the book for £10 less than retail price. To take advantage of this offer, use the discount code DURALUM during checkout at www.sacristy.co.uk.
