New exhibition: unseen photographs of #ThePotteries. During his life, local engineer and self-taught photographer Peter Lymer documented the people and places of #StokeonTrent. Amazing #blackandwhitephotography most images never before seen. Until August 31, free admission.

Exciting times as we soon open up our museum to show off our revamped displays of #blueitalian & #handpainted #bonechina. We are in need of more #volunteers to do this. We’re a friendly bunch who share a #passion for ceramics. Drop us a DM for more info.

This weekend we are crafting ‘shadow box stories’ within cardboard boxes, inspired by our current exhibition by assemblage artist Steve Talbot. Using collected items, children can create their own scene based on their favourite person, place or story. Free, materials provided.
