Wow, in less than 24 hours, we reached over 10,000 signatures - thank you ❤️

We need 100,000 for the matter to be considered for debate in Parliament. This could make a huge difference for the UK ceramics industry.

Yesterday, some of the Small Performances team had a trip to Oxford University Press museum to have a look at Baskerville's Greek punches and matrices. Thanks to OUP for allowing us to rummage through your precious Victorian type cabinet.

I just wanna reiterate while I'm doing it/thinking about it ... if you're providing winter shelters for feral/outside cats, ONLY USE STRAW! Blankets, pillows, hay, anything else CAN FREEZE THEM. Straw is for strays! RT for awareness. 💕🐾
