The historic Staffordshire pottery company, Moorcroft, marks its hundred year anniversary with an exciting exhibition at the Potteries Museum with two unique launch days. On Friday 8th - Saturday 9th November 2013 Moorcroft will be offering some exciting opportunities for enthusiasts of the applied arts.
Congratulations to our winner, Shaeran Thomas (London)
This summer, Ripley's Believe It or Not! London opens its first ever pop-up exhibition - a series of works by British 'sleep walking artist', Lee Hadwin. Opening on 16th August 2013 with a special appearance by the artist himself, visitors to London's most bizarre attraction can enjoy a mini exhibition showcasing 13 pieces of art that Lee has created whilst in a state of sleep.
We were delighted to be invited down to the Honeybuns Bakery in Dorset to meet Emma Goss-Custard and the Honeybuns Team, for a weekend of 'glamping' in the newly-restored Ark; a cedar covered vintage caravan that Emma, Matt and The Team have lovingly repaired. Coupled with the opportunity to try the delicious menu on offer at The Bee Shack and to be able to get a first-hand look at the production line that produces the most amazing gluten-free cakes, we could hardly wait to begin our journey down to Dorset.
Finally the summer sun has arrived and us girls (and guys) can't wait to get our feet out of stuffy shoes and boots and revel in the freedom of open-toed sandals. An array of peek-a-boo styles are simply begging to be worn and we are on our way in the style stakes... until we realise that while we may be ready for the Summer, our feet are not. But with a selection of simple to use, easy to apply solutions Lloyds Pharmacy will help you get your feet summer-ready in no time.
This year Moorcroft are marking their centenary with a travelling exhibition put together out of pottery, drawings and written archive material loaned by the Moorcroft Museum. In this way, the art pottery would be seen to have reached out to its audience in the United Kingdom to show, with just 100 exhibits, how Moorcroft sprang to life in 1913 and why it is still alive to this day.
