Join me at the iconic Spode Museum for an afternoon of creativity as we celebrate the rich industrial heritage of Stoke-on-Trent with a Bottle Oven Skyline needle felting workshop.

The famous bottle ovens are among the most recognisable symbols of The Potteries, standing as a lasting reminder of the city's world-renowned ceramics industry. In this workshop, you'll create your own felted interpretation of these distinctive landmarks, transforming soft wool fibres into a striking textile artwork inspired by the skyline of Stoke-on-Trent.

You'll learn how to blend colours, build layers and add detail using needle felting techniques to create depth and atmosphere. Whether you choose a dramatic sunset, a twilight silhouette or a colourful contemporary design, you'll leave with a unique piece that celebrates the history and character of The Potteries.

There could hardly be a more fitting venue than the historic Spode Museum itself. Located on the original Spode factory site, this inspiring setting is steeped in creativity, craftsmanship and local heritage, making it the perfect place to create artwork inspired by Stoke-on-Trent's industrial landscape.

Perfect for beginners and improvers, this relaxed and friendly workshop includes:

• Step-by-step expert tuition
