About Us

StavesArt is a family business that was established in May 2017, with a passion for drawing and designing cities, skyscrapers, and stadiums. The founder Ben, a former architecture student, started with just three designs on Etsy, and since then the business has grown with the help of family and friends.

While many people remember the Covid-19 pandemic as a time where work ground to a halt and we were all counting down the days for lockdowns to end, Ben worked hard to grow his online presence. This is when both the website for our business and our social media platforms were established.

What Do We Offer?

StavesArt is a business that focuses on creating stunning 3D globe-style artwork of cities and towns. These are unique and provide a visually stunning way to explore the geography of different places. We use cutting-edge design techniques to create artwork that is both accurate and beautiful.

In the last couple of years, StavesArt has expanded into creating artwork of the UK that highlights sporting venues. These are a great way for sports fans to explore the geography of the stadiums of each team.

Our artwork prints are the main products that we offer. These prints are incredibly popular at in-person events, where people can see them up close and appreciate the level of detail and artistry that goes into each map. The prints are made using high-quality materials and are designed to last, so customers can enjoy them for years to come. Overall, StavesArt's focus on creating unique and visually stunning artwork has made them a popular choice for anyone looking to add some beauty to their home or office.

To see our artwork prints in person, head on down to The Shambles Market in York every Monday, Friday, and Saturday to see our stall!
