Matthew has been going to Venice every year since 1981 when he was a theatre design student at the Central School of Art. Since then, he has designed 300 mugs for Emma Bridgewater, furniture for David Linley and written and illustrated six books on architecture. Matthew’s richly illustrated guide to Venice for Penguin will be published in the spring.
