We would like to thank everyone that has bought a Capel Salem mug/s in support of and for their windows in their Welsh chapel.

The amount of orders has been phenomenal and we couldn't make the mugs fast enough to keep up with demand. ๐Ÿฅต

Apologies for the long wait for orders, as seen on Our Welsh Chapel Dream, each mug passes at least 20 sets of hands in the production process. We appreciate every single order in support of our heritage factory ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Beyond the Bottle Oven Tour

After the success of our first tours with Gladstone Pottery Museum, we now have weekly tours available to celebrate the past, present and future of Stoke on Trent ceramics .

Speaking at a sneak peek at the new Beyond the Bottle Oven tour Keith Brymer Jones said "The more we can do to expose the talent and creativity of the wonderful city of Stoke, the more people will be invested in what people do here.
โ€œThatโ€™s what I think is so exciting about this initiative of marrying the old and the new."

Beyond the Bottle Oven is a powerful new visitor experience where heritage meets creativity and innovation. It is more than a visit โ€” itโ€™s a connection to the people, pride and legacy that shaped Stoke on Trent, and the future itโ€™s building today.

Start your tour at Gladstone Pottery Museum with a deep dive into the history of ceramics in Stoke-on-Trent, enjoy a potter's lunch of Staffordshire Oatcakes in the cafe, and finish off with the future of pottery with a factory tour of Duchess China 1888, located across the road from the museum.

Tours cost ยฃ45 per person (including lunch) and last approximately 3 - 4 hours. Places are limited so please call 01782 237777 Weds - Sat 10am - 4.45pm or Sun 11am - 3.45pm to book and pay for places.

We need your help to sign the "Support the Ceramics Industry" petition created by the campaign.

Our heritage is under threat, as the rising energy costs are placing an immense pressure on UK manufacturers, especially the ceramics industry.

We need help to protect jobs, heritage skills, businesses and to save our industrial heritage.

The Government Petitions Committee has now approved the petition for a review of the 'Supercharger' scheme to include ceramics manufacturers. The scheme provides relief to energy intensive businesses in the UK and inclusion in this would help cut soaring industrial energy costs and support ceramics businesses.

Ways that you can help:

- Sign the petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/764785 (we need 100,000 signatures for the government to respond)
- Share this post

Thank you for your support for our Ceramics Industry. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
