The decline of pottery manufacturing in Stoke-on-Trent, once a global hub for ceramics, has significantly impacted the area. As production moved overseas to reduce costs, many local factories closed, leading to widespread job losses and economic downturn. This shift not only diminished the city's industrial base but also eroded its cultural identity tied to the craft of pottery. The closure of these factories left behind derelict buildings and contributed to social challenges, including increased unemployment rates and reduced investment. ‘Threads.’ Inspired by the phrase "hanging on by a thread," something I frequently hear in the pottery manufacturing industry regarding its stability. I aimed to create a literal interpretation of this term using clay.
