I’ve just bought the big one! Just a nice monochrome print of the potteries now will do nicely |

Not Potteries born but I purchased 2 pieces from an artist named Kerry Darlington, made £200 on one piece.

Yeh, I guess I could make that work😉 |

To throw up on? To aid Badger's seduction technique. He could invite them back to stroke his furry mammal. |

Oi you pair this is meant to be a cultural, arty thread looking for recommendations.
Instead, Cranson has made me part with £165 for a badger print(framed) and now you’re going on about my pulling techniques!
Words fail me sometimes😉

Cheaper way (I’ve done this for my mum and dad) gone out and taken photos of iconic places in stoke on Trent then had them printed out professionally.

I think one of ELO's brothers was a school teacher in Stoke. Maybe cousin so makes sense. Chap I went to school with was a huge fan and his music teacher got all his albums signed for him so maybe a local connection. The big hairy dude who looked like DLT. |

Which one is it? It surely isn’t both! |

Leonard Brammer did some amazing etchings of the Potteries during the 1930s - a fantastic quality to them, made the landscape and buildings look like something from a Biblical epic. Unfortunately, impressions from the etchings are now very expensive. Ditto Jack Simcock - I really like his black and white paintings of people with buildings around Mow Cop from the 1960s and 70s - I think Trent Art Gallery had some originals for sale a few years ago, but they are beyond my budget.
If you fancy a bit of colour, Julian Trevelyan did some good paintings of Burslem during the 1940s. I'd also second whoever flagged up Rob Pointon above - been to several of his exhibitions and he never disappoints.
Shout out to SB for the link up to the Maurice Wade exhibition - I'll make a point of going to that when I am next down.
