Some of our members have enjoyed visiting the current exhibition at the Silk Museum. I haven't been yet but didn't realise it's on the same road as Jobling Gowler so maybe it would be nice to combine the visits.

We spent an afternoon experimenting with silk painting.
I think we all now have a good idea about how we can use this technique in our future projects.

The six-week long festival will present work from the UK’s leading contemporary artists in a series of new exhibitions and special events across the city, embracing the heritage of Stoke-on-Trent as the capital of ceramics.

The AWARD exhibition will present exciting new work from the UK’s leading ceramic artists and FRESH showcases the best of recent UK graduate talent. The full programme will be announced in May.

There will also be a programme of family-friendly activities, giving people the opportunity to get clay under their fingernails. Local arts collective B Arts will once again be setting up a pop up café in the China Hall serving homemade bread, soup, cakes and lots more! 

The event is FREE to attend and opening times at the former Spode factory site are Tuesday to Saturday (10am-5pm) and Sunday (12-5pm). For full opening times for all venues, check the website.
