There will be refreshments, maps and creative activities, with things for children to do too. All ages are welcome and you don't need any specialist knowledge – we are interested in what people who live in, work in, visit and care about Stoke-on-Trent think.
The workshop takes place alongside Shirley’s Bone & Flint Mill steaming and other complementary Heritage Open Days activities at Etruria, making it a great opportunity to explore the area's industrial past while helping to imagine its future.
