The Close Jumper is named after the shared entrances to tenement buildings, known as closes, which are common to most Scottish cities. Some closes are decorated with beautiful ceramic tiles, with those in Glasgow being especially celebrated.

The bold, jewel-like colours of Ginger Twist Studio’s Masham Mayhem, and the diamond crocheted motif, are reminiscent of some of the ornate tile patterns found on these tenement walls.
