For #MKMonday we thought we'd share this wonderful mug! While not technically part of our collection, it has pride of place in the archive kitchen. None of us know who brought it in but it's become the default mug for new staff.

This is a must if you're in Newcastle, I just wish I could go.
Our Ouseburn Open Studios is on the last weekend of November this year.
It’s a rare opportunity to see inside the studios & to buy direct from the artists and designers. I will have paintings, handmade limited edition prints & handmade books for sale.
