Hi Stoke! Wow Commissions

Hi! Stoke Wow Commissions: an art trail celebrating the heritage of Stoke Town

Between 2022-2024 B arts and the Stoke Town Cultural Consortium commissioned four new artworks celebrating different aspects of the heritage of the town of Stoke-Upon-Trent as part of the Stoke Town High Street Heritage Action Zone programme, funded by Historic England and Stoke On Trent City Council. You can find out more about each one by clicking on the buttons below each image above. You can download a PDF of the four sites here:

SPOT THE SPODE FEATURE!

Each artwork was made by a different artist but all of them have something in common!

Each one contains either a bird or a tree from Spode’s famous willow pattern. Can you spot them all? What else can you find? (Scroll down for images to help you)

One version of Spode’s version of the Willow Pattern.

Can you find this Spode inspired bird on Let’s Talk Market?

Can you find this Spode inspired tree on Four Landscapes for Stoke?

Old Stoke Mosaic features this tree, but where?

Cobalt Chronicles has both birds and trees! As well as other elements of pattern inspired by Spode designs, how many can you spot?
