The Potter's Craft
Archival photography print of a traditional potter's workshop in Stoke-on-Trent, the heart of the Potteries. Available in A5, A4 and A3.
This photograph steps inside a potter's workshop in Stoke-on-Trent, where the tools of the trade lie ready: the wheel at its heart, and the unfinished pieces waiting to take their final form. It is a quiet, working scene, full of the promise of what clay can become.
Stoke-on-Trent, affectionately known as the Potteries, has been the heart of the British ceramic industry since the 17th century, giving the world household names such as Wedgwood and Royal Doulton. This image is a glimpse of that living tradition, where modern craftsmanship still draws on skills handed down over generations.
For anyone who loves the Potteries and the making of things by hand, this is a fitting piece for the wall. Printed on premium 230gsm archival matte paper, available in A5, A4 and A3, hand-printed and posted by me here in the Potteries, with free UK delivery.
