Neil Ewins. Copy of paper to be delivered at Parsons, The New School of Design, New York on 23rd April 2013, for their 22nd Annual Parsons/Cooper-Hewitt symposium on the Decorative Arts and Design. The Presentation of this paper will be accompanied by Powerpoint imagery. Conference theme ‘Mobility and Design’. Sub-categories of Conference: Globalization and the mobility of cultural products. Paper title: UK ceramic manufacturing strategies, marketing and design, in response to globalization c1990-2010. Since the 1990s, ceramic exports from the Far East have surged, and UK ceramic brands have increasingly utilized cheap labour abroad, known as outsourcing. Much of the more recent behaviour of the UK ceramic industry is a reflection of globalization. Western industries have been described increasingly as ‘post Fordist’ (Amin (ed), 1994), and to many writers the impact of globalization creates deterritorialization (King (ed), 1991, p.6; Tomlinson, 1999, p.106-49). Taking their cue from Baudrillard, Lash and Urry’s analysis of ‘global sociology’ argued that ‘Objects are emptied out both of meaning (and are postmodern) and material content (and are thus post-industrial)’. -

Since its inception the Charity has persistently and influentially worked to lift standards, develop training qualifications and build networks across the UK’s conservation, repair and maintenance (CRM) sector, estimated at over 40% of all construction industry activities. This has involved working partnerships with national agencies, professional and standard setting bodies, educational establishments and training interests. This study is directed towards a general audience and those wishing to increase their knowledge of The Potteries area, and its specific form and type of buildings in addition to assisting in providing a framework for carrying out similar regional studies. -
Wilmslow Dfas
Please retain this form for your information The Arts Society, Wilmslow Gladstone Pottery Museum & Ford Green Hall Thursday, March 19th, 2020 The Gladstone Pottery Museum is a Grade ll listed, working museum of a medium-sized coal-fired pottery, typical of those once common in North Staffordshire during the industrial revolution in the 18th century to the mid 20th century. The Gladstone is a complex of buildings from two works, the Gladstone and the Roslyn. The kilns, of which there are less than 50 surviving bottle ovens in Stoke- on-Trent and only a scattering elsewhere in the UK, are protected. The museum is centred on the Roslyn pottery with its two biscuit ovens, two larger glost ovens and two enamel kilns. A tandem compound steam engine by Marshall & Sons, of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire is in place but is now turned by an electric motor. The museum allows the visitor to explore the bottle kilns and exhibits, the principal ancillary rooms: the engine house, the slip room, saggar making workshop. It shows aspects of working with clay- including hands on displays of throwing, moulding and decorating. Colour and gilding is presented as interpretive panels. Galleries explain the history of the tile (pressing, glazing, decoration) and the history of sanitary ware, privies, earth closets and water closets. Gladstone was not a famous pottery but was typical of hundreds of similar factories making everyday ceramic items for the mass market Ford Green Hall is a Grade II listed farmhouse and historic house museum. The oldest parts of the house date from the late 16th century, with one wing being either added or greatly repaired at some point in the early 18th century. -

Longton Tile Trail
The PotteriesTileTrail Longton The Potteries Tile Trail is a pilot project that aims to celebrate tiles and architectural ceramics to be found in locations across Stoke-on-Trent. It aims to promote the city's built environment as well as its internationally significant tile and architectural ceramic industry. The collection has been created in partnership with a volunteer research team, the local community and a wider constituency of online contributors. The trails can either be accessed using this digital document (PDF) or via our dedicated Historypin channel using the website or smart phone app. The digital documents can be printed out if required. We have created a series of six introductory 'tile trails' - one for each of Stoke- on-Trent's famous six towns (Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton). The trails are aimed at local residents and visitors alike. They offer a selection of varied and interesting examples of ceramics to be found in buildings and pubic spaces in each local area. We hope the trails encourage more people to explore and enjoy the city's wonderful 'in situ' ceramics. We also hope they contribute to the collection by adding comments and photographs to the Historypin collection. The Potteries Tile Trail project has been led by the national Tiles and Architectural Ceramics Society (TACS) and funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) All Our Stories initiative. Further details about the project and trails can be found at: www.thepotteriestiletrail.org 4 Sydney Works, Sutherland Road The building includes terracotta work that features the building's name and date. -
