WOW!! Well done UK!! @denbypottery is now SO close to the 100k signatures the petition needs! If you care about British craftsmanship, about handmade over mass-produced, please sign and share this https://t.co/f7txedOvQz
This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby@denbypottery
@hillsacp@denbypottery Nail on the head there, those lost skills aren’t something that can be replaced with YouTube and AI, we are just heading into a nightmare and nobody with any power seems to be making any real difference
@EcolanderUK@RecyclerBill@denbypottery The problem is rising costs, as for many businesses, and Reeves isn’t helping. We’re seeing more and more UK manufacturers closing, I don’t think it’s the lack of buying support (according to Denby too) but a wider issue
@Ellekl@denbypottery That’s true, but it’s about supporting skilled handcraft not mass produced from China. Our Next set scratched within weeks but Denby lasts decades.
@Jane95475959158@denbypottery Yeah, I know, was just so shocked and couldn’t fit all that into the text. They have said they’ve had no @Gov support. Unlike cars, steel and banks, apparently crafts don’t warrant gov help in time.
