I’ve finished this #linocut - it’s the former Price Kensington teapot factory in Stoke-on-Trent. It was going to have a lot more detail, but I kind of fell for the orange roofline silhouette #printmaking #StokeOnTrent #pottery #TeaPotFactory

A historic roofline including a bottle shaped pottery kiln, and a tall slim chimney. On the left is the side of a white building with dark green-framed windows. The roofline is in layers, at the back is mid-orange which has the roofline itself, the next layer is a darker orangey brown, and delineates a wall, just below the centre line. The last layer, just below that, is a darker warm brown and represents the road.

Given the number of takeaways we have I'm surprised the city hasn't been re-named this already #StokeOnTrent

Wow! This guy wasn't polite, came over to me right in my face and asked me "what are you?". I didn't understand what he meant so I asked him and he said "well you're clearly not white British are you? So what exactly are you?". He referred to me later as the Greek guy

Had a couple of these last week. Lovely stuff!

Oakham Ales @oakhamales.bsky.social · Sep 3

Hop Noir is a very special collaboration, between ourselves and England’s largest brewer of stouts and porters, Titanic Brewery.

This Black IPA features a lineup of NZ hops; Taiheke, Waimea and Green Bullet. Expect heady hop flavours with sweet roasty undertones on the finish.

The Hop Noir pumpclip featuring the logos of both brewers set against a starry night sky. The pumpclip is propped against a barrel.

Please see petition below to get speed cameras on Park Hall Road. After a number of serious collisions along that road, sadly last night we had a fatality. Let's make it safer for everyone.

Thanks
