What travelers are saying
- Nick HDundee, UK27 contributionsGreat place to visit. Very well done with a detailed history of the industry, working conditions and live demonstrations of the craft etc. All the staff were very helpful especially the gentleman on reception. Cant recommend it highly enough and when you see how these men, women and children lived/worked it makes it clear how easy our modern lives are.Written May 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RobertLeek, UK29 contributionsDid you know Stoke created the spitfire man? Did you know of a thing called the Staffordshire hoard? Would you like to see a collection of butterflies, a small old chip shop recreated with plastic fishes, and a cat skeleton?
Of course you do because Stoke-on-Trent Museum is a place of hallowed mysteries, secrets to be uncovered, and joy. Afterwards be sure to buy some nicknacks from the shop, they're the usual soft animals and keyrings but better because they were made by proper Stokies.

Informative information and will get better as the new work is completed. Needs everyone's support to keep going. The shop has an amazing range of pottery for sale at bargain prices.
Hope the cafe is up and running soon - the Quarter at Potbank is next door but a little odd and not really geared up to coffee and a snack.Written March 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's about time we had something that's a) really interesting b) really modern and c) celebrates everything good about Stoke. Well done, Professor Pigment.Written June 4, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Santanu PNewcastle-under-Lyme, UK485 contributionsI visited the "A Road Less Travelled" exhibition held here. I liked "Splintered Sunset, Venice" by ob Pointon, "Green Valley" by Cheryl Culver and "God Bless Air Traffic Control", an archaeological sculptural painting made from clay and found objects, by Philip HardakerWritten September 22, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tracy H23 contributionsMy husband arranged this weekend course “Making Teapots” for my Xmas present. We both have thrown a few times in our lives but are not very proficient but with Jon’s excellent teaching and clear demonstrations and as needed advice we came away with several credible pots and having learned so much. The purpose built studio is a well equipped and pleasant environment and the class size was perfect with lots of room. Jon is very good at this and he and the other classmates (many of whom have studied with him before) made it a very enjoyable and successful weekend. Very good balance of hands on practice and throwing and as needed help. Loved itWritten March 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
