Lattice Labyrinth Tessellations tile the infinite plane with intricate symmetrical "jigsaw pieces". Each corresponds to a pair of numbers which can celebrate any calendar date and many year dates from 3 to 2100 CE and beyond. This book outlines the elegance of their geometrical construction and algebra.

Lattice Labyrinth patterns can enliven garments and household fabrics or determine the layout of wall tiles and paving slabs. Beneath your feet in the Marketplace could be an open-air lesson in symmetry, algebra and number theory - an introduction to the joys of mathematics!

Scarthin Books' very own Charlotte, published by Verve Poetry Press.

Metamorphosis is ‘feeding us to the years we are not yet ready for’, the healing years. A transcendence through abuse which is both about human connection and a connection to nature. Influenced by Plath and spoken word, Charlotte explores her repressed childhood, mental health illness and the journey to recovery.
