Appetite

APPETITE Creative display in heart of town

Anew creative exhibition is on display in Newcastle.

Life, Clay & Everything by Keith Brymer Jones is currently at Appetite’s Newcastle Common High Street space – running until Saturday, February 26.

Appetite is a three year programme that aims to gets more people in Stoke-on-Trent and the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme to experience and be inspired by the arts.

A spokesman for Appetite said: “We are thrilled to have the Life, Clay and Everything exhibition by Keith Brymer Jones taking over our Newcastle Common space throughout February. “In his first exhibition of this kind, the master potter celebrates his life work. “Audiences are welcome to drop-in and see the free exhibition Tuesdays to Saturdays from 11am to 4pm at 23 High Street, Newcastleunder-Lyme (opposite Art of Siam). “Be sure to share your snaps from your visit on social media and use the hashtags #NewcastleCommon #LifeClayEverything.”

The exhibition coincides with the publication of Keith’s autobiography, The Boy In A China Shop: Life, Clay and Everything, which is also hitting the shelves this month.

Keith has featured as a judge on The Great Pottery Throw Down since the show first started in 2015, and series five is currently airing on Channel 4. “We are thrilled to have the Life, Clay and Everything exhibition by Keith Brymer Jones taking over our Newcastle Common space throughout February.”

The Newcastle Common programme is focused on the changing Newcastleunder-Lyme town centre, transforming empty shops and the high street into places of art and creativity.
