Potters - A Celebration | Hilton Garden Inn | Hanley | Sun 25 Oct
An exhibition inspired by the work of a local poet - and former pot bank worker - is set to go on display in Stoke-on-Trent.
Potters - A Celebration, featuring work by ceramic artist Reiko Kaneko, will be on display at the premier Hilton Garden Inn in Hanley on Sunday 25 October.
The work takes its inspiration from poet John Lancaster and his acclaimed collection, Potters: A Division of Labour , which won the inaugural Arnold Bennett Book Prize in 2017.
Reiko, who lived in Stoke-on-Trent for five years, has created characters based on pot bank workers with John's poetry on them.
Both John and Reiko will be speaking at the event, which is free to attend and begins at 3pm.
