This autumn, the internationally acclaimed singer and songwriter Robbie Williams has unveiled three vibrant and imaginative ceramic artworks, created in collaboration with the design-forward contemporary ceramics brand 1882 Ltd. These striking pieces are exclusively showcased by Mint, a leading London design gallery known for its commitment to presenting innovative and cutting-edge works.
Inspired by two drawings by Williams of Jesus and The Pope, the pieces have been brought to life by the masterful hands of 1882 Ltd.’s craftsmen based in Stoke-on-Trent, not only the historical epicentre of British pottery but Williams’ childhood hometown. Collaborating with 1882 Ltd. provided the singer with a natural connection to the place he grew up – and where many of his family have worked in the industry – and the art he is now making.
“I’m from Stoke and we are the potteries and it’s what we are famous for. And it’s what has given us relevance on the map, in the UK and around the world. It is ingrained in me – we are of clay.”
Robbie Williams
