To mark King Charles III’s coronation, Emma Joustra has worked with Stafford-based Great British Jigsaws to create a special jigsaw – produced entirely in Staffordshire.
The cheery 1,000-piece jigsaw has been designed by established Stone-based artist and
illustrator Emma Joustra, who is renowned in the local area for her unique and colourful art
installations in three North Staffordshire hospitals – as well as, of course, the A Little Bit of Stone logo!
Featuring King Charles and the Queen Consort standing proudly against a backdrop of The
Mall and Buckingham Palace, the coronation jigsaw portrays joyful well-wishers from all over
the British Isles waving their Union Flags, roses, thistles, shamrocks and daffodils.
Overhead, the Red Arrows roar their way across a red, white and blue sky from Windsor,
over the London skyline – including The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and the
London Eye.
Emma underwent extensive research to create a puzzle that speaks of the King and his love
of the British people, animals, conservation and the environment. You can spot garden birds,
plane trees, wild parakeets and a raven from The Tower. Bees, butterflies, ladybirds and
dragonflies join the celebration whilst the royal couple’s rescue dogs sit dutifully at their feet.
Great British Jigsaws was formed in March 2020 by husband and wife team Jason and
Kathy Cornish. The Stafford-based duo and their team manufacture jigsaws using a unique
print system, which allows for short-run production with the feel of a traditionally mass-produced litho printed jigsaw.
Made in Staffordshire by Great British Jigsaws and with a 100% recycled puzzle board, the
finished 1,000-piece King Charles III coronation jigsaw measures 69cm x 48cm and will be
available as a Special Edition from 13 March. This vibrant new jigsaw is ideal for puzzlers that want to buy British and support small businesses.
