Work with me

At Teifi Illustration, I provide professional archaeological illustration and heritage visualisation tailored to the needs of archaeologists, heritage consultants, researchers, museums, and publishers. From detailed artefact drawings, finds plates, and site plans to small finds illustration, photogrammetry models, and 3D reconstructions, every project is produced to publication standard with accuracy at its core. Based in west Wales and working across the UK, I collaborate closely with clients to deliver illustrations that support academic publications, heritage reporting, museum catalogues, and public interpretation.

Need publication-ready archaeological illustration for your next excavation, report, or journal submission? I provide accurate artefact drawings, finds plates, site plans, small finds illustration, and 3D/photogrammetry visualisation—tailored to your brief and delivered to professional standards.

What I offer

  • Artefact drawing & photography: such as lithics, ceramics, metalwork, bone/antler, wood, and textiles

  • Clear comparative typology layouts with profiles/sections & scale bars

  • Site plans & graphics: plans, phases, reconstruction diagrams and interpretive figures

  • 3D & photogrammetry: 3D model stills of artefacts and rotating clips for heritage interpretation and publications

  • Shaded & line techniques: stippled/shaded rendering and precise technical line work

  • Publication graphics: captions, legends, and house-style alignment for journals and heritage reports
