Life on the Croft - The tale of Ron, Squidgy and the mean dog warden

I see these guys alot on the Croft.

Stokes Croft China & NY Delftware

Ceramics are getting a bit of a face lift with the lovely and wonderful PRSC project Stokes Croft China, and a more graff style from New York Delft by lovegrove&repucci.

Just before Christmas I had a guided tour of the work at Stokes Croft China by Mr PRSC, who used to work in the pottery industry. It was great to see the progression where 6 months ago you could only choose from simple mugs and customise them with deadstock decals, and now their is a selection of pottery which even includes toilet bowls. Some of the highlights were collaboration with some chosen artists who've taken the decals and added their own twist (see below). I especially love the 'Cardinal moustache' pieces.

Stokes Croft - PRSC

I watch the PRSC with a quiet admiration - trying to reclaim the area of Stokes Croft and keep it from being forgotten and unloved, the PRSC have set up 'graffiti areas', keep the council on their toes, care for the local wandering residents, and give local artists a lot of encouragement and love.
