The Firing Line
January - June 2021Thanks to a welcome & timely ‘Developing Your Creative Practice’ investment from Arts Council England; Danny Callaghan will spend the next 6 months as de facto Artist-in-Residence at The Firing Line, Stoke-on-Trent. The company manufactures high quality ceramic tiles using traditional techniques & c.100 year old ‘dust presses’.
“This exciting collaboration will enable me to concentrate on & develop my own studio practice. I will work in close contact with tile makers Richard & Steve Wilshaw to understand, deconstruct & disrupt traditional production methods & thinking. I will develop a range of new creative & technical skills through informal but structured ‘learning by doing’. This activity will culminate in a collection of new ceramic products, tests & experimental samples. A selection will also form the basis for a ‘window display’ at Winkhill Mill which can be viewed safely from Swan Street.”
