Excellent series of articles around the piqued interest in ceramics in the latest edition of @StaffsUni @StaffsAlumni Horizon magazine starting with Future-Proofing Pottery.

[Paul Williams @PaulWilliams207]

⁦@StaffsUni @EdAustinCeramic⁩: Modern ceramics factories are much more similar to car factories than … the Wedgwood of 70 years ago. In a modern factory like ⁦@churchill1795⁩ or ⁦@WadeCeramics⁩ they use industrial robots.

At my first hybrid participative event. Very important launch of National Association Ceramic Educators (NACE) to support the diversity of ceramic education from individual to institution. Technology works brilliantly and I'm glad to be on a campus in digital kiln @StaffsUni
