Sisu Ceramics by Rosie Threadgold pays tribute to the rich industrial heritage of the Potteries, celebrating its past, present, and future. A self-taught ceramicist who learned her skills on the factory floor, Rosie’s ceramic designs reflect the unique pride of being rooted in an ordinary place with an extraordinary legacy of ceramic craftsmanship,  tradition that endures to this day.

What do you think of when you hear about production ceramics in the Potteries?  Is it that of a Dickensian backdrop, working long hours in miserable conditions,  a completely automated production line or it’s all made in China? Most people’s reference for production ceramics in this city is in the past, Sisu hopes to represent what could come from a potbank today and show something unexpected.
