🎊THANK YOU🎊

A MASSIVE thank you to @potterycrafts_tiranti for donating us new tools for our new studio!

We were so excited today to pick up loads of funky tools and ceramic equipment to get creative with in our new building. Woo!

Thank you so much @potterycrafts_tiranti 💛💛

Anna and Rebecca have had a brilliant day at the amazing @tippingpointeast for the @nationalretrofithub Retrofit Obviously Summit - Hearing about retrofit work from across the country, discussing the challenges for communities, local and national government and industry. A rich day full of questions but also plenty of ideas and hope. We were pleased to share the work we are doing in our neighbourhood and to catch up with friends and colleagues.

Building update: Some beautiful architectural cera

Building update: Some beautiful architectural ceramics are starting to make an appearance on site. Our downstairs quarry tiles are in the process of being laid - absolutely perfect for conducting the heat from our under floor heating system. And then most exciting is that our #portlandprofiles roof ridge tile inserts have arrived - Our neighbours profiles will forever be watching over the neighbourhood. Can you spot anyone you know? Our enormous thanks to @ketleybrick and @dreadnought.tiles for collaborating with us on getting this right. They are just the most wonderful addition to our building and we can’t wait for them to be installed. Pics show the finished profiles - made from our local Etruria Marl Clay and high fired to achieve the unmistakable Staffordshire Blue colour - also pics of our making process, visit to Ketley Brick Factory with neighbours to cut out some of the profiles and sketchbook page of initial concept - and a first glimpse at that floor! Thanks so much again to @alastair_dreadnought and team for support. We love them 💚

We hope you’re all having a lovely week so far!
