I’ve seen a thread on a similar thing before but can’t find it. I’m looking for some wall art/prints of the potteries as part of my new single man house revamp. Can anyone recommend any websites or, even better, local art shops where I’ll find a decent range? Ta in advance.

Don’t really want the footy stuff but there’s plenty of alternative artwork on there👍🏻 I’ve bought a few of the prints and they’re a decent price. Got mine off here if my memory serves me right. I love the one called Stan. www.theartbay.co.uk/index.php/sid_kirkham/sir_stanley_matthews

In the past I've seen some superb Reginald Haggar prints for sale in the Potteries Museum shop.

There's an exhibition starting next week in the Trent Gallery in (Newcastle u Lyme) of a chap called Maurice Wade who painted monochrome industrial landscapes. He died in 1991 but every painting he ever did (over 300) was of a scene within 5 miles of Longport.

Incidentally: Andy McCluskey of OMD has put together a collection of paintings by Potteries artist Maurice Wade, who painted monochrome landscapes 1960- 90. They are going on show 26 March to 29 April at Trent Gallery, 16 Brunswick Street, N-u-L. Same gallery sells some fine originals, don't know about prints though. trent-art.co.uk/maurice-wade-silent-landscapes-the-andy-mccluskey-collection/Edit: sorry SB, crossed posts.

Sink a quick swifty in every pub on the way down and offer exorbitant amounts of money for a painting! Some brilliant stuff he’s done, if only Andy McCluskey was there, love OMD😀

www.robpointon.co.uk/Try this. Look at some of the online auctions too. I'm a fan of Barry Hilton's galleon paintings, they were £450ish a good few years ago. The last ones doubled in value just as he finished them as he developed a heart condition that stopped him painting in that style. I managed to pick up a few at auction for a lot less than the galleries were knocking them out for. His landscapes that he started painting afterwards were going for silly money.

His work is remarkable, but I’ve not been able to find any prints. The originals now cost thousands but if you’re rich likely to be solid investments. There is a lot of interest in his work currently and I think he will become more well known as the years pass.

Cheers, that’d be perfect for my “games room”👍🏻 The one of Hitler as Superman is excellent, although I’m not sure why it’s labelled as a “comedy drawing”. He was quite a serious man and so was Christopher Reeve!

Would look nice next to tennis player scratching arse in my reading room

Would look nice next to tennis player scratching arse in my reading room I had that one. Thought it was Martina Navratilova. Turns out it wasn’t and apparently that lady can’t even play tennis, so I just feel really let down.

The Waiting Room in Longport had a few psychedelic ones the last time I was there, but I can't remember the name of the artist. I'd guess Middleport Pottery over the road has a few too.
