Middleport Pottery Archive Open Morning
Port Street, Middleport, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST6 3PE
In this 45 minute session you will get to visit our collection store, in our Harper Street premises, directly across from Middleport Pottery. Here you will be taken round by our amazing collection volunteers who will show you some of the amazing objects we have that are not currently on display, including showing you some of their favourites!
The team will them also show you some of the ways we care for and document our collection in this true behind the curtain look at the Middleport Pottery Collection.
Special for this year, you we be able to view handwritten letters from the architect of Middleport Pottery, Absalom Reade Wood. These letters were recently discovered in our collection, and you will be the first members of the public to get a chance to see them!
