Uncle Jerry Cork Turntable Platter Mat - Karen Payton Art

A familiar face, pieced together in an unexpected way. This cork turntable mat features Uncle Jerry by Karen Payton, bringing warmth and playful color to your turntable with golden glasses, flowing gray hair, and a bright red rose tucked into a richly textured portrait.

Karen pieces together each original artwork from fabric, clothing, and other textiles. Visible stitching, layered shapes, and patterns give every piece a character all its own, with details that make you want to lean in for a closer look.

Reproduced on our cork platter mat, Uncle Jerry brings that textile artistry to a new surface, with the fabric textures and stitching captured in the printed design. A little art, a little personality, and a fitting home beneath your favorite records.

Original artwork by Karen Payton. Cork platter mat produced by Analog Restorations.

Part of our Studio Series, this platter mat has the artwork integrated directly into the surface while allowing the natural color and texture of the cork to show through. The result is a functional, personal piece that brings a meaningful sense of place to your turntable.
