The exhibition is housed in Ceramic City Stories’ unique DIY space in Swan Street: CLAYHEAD is an exciting pop up environment secretly housed at Winkhill Mill, Stoke-on-Trent. Two modified shipping containers installed in the former loading bay of this historical ceramic tile works help to form an exciting & unusual micro venue for The Potteries.

Touching History is a collaborative project between Stoke Your Gratitude C.I.C., the Royal National Institute of Blind People and the Tiles & Architectural Ceramics Society (TACS). Some of the outcomes will be tactile models for visually impaired people & a project book featuring a selection of specially chosen Minton & Co. encaustic tile designs of the period 1840-42.

Exhibition & event location: CLAYHEAD, Winkhill Mill, Swan Street, Stoke-on-Trent ST4 7RH
