Middleport Pottery Factory Tour for Two | Outdoor Activities | Virgin Experience Days / Voucher Gift Virgin Experience Days For Couples/Him/Her/Mum/Dad/Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Wife/Husband/Partner/Family Things To Do | Step back in time and experience the rich heritage of British craftsmanship with the Middleport Pottery Factory Tour for Two. Located at the Grade II*-listed Middleport Pottery, this tour offers a unique insight into the world of Burleigh ware, where traditional pottery-making techniques have been preserved for over a century. Your guided tour takes you through the entire production process, from a lump of clay to the finished piece of pottery. Each piece of Burleigh pottery passes through 25 pairs of hands, and you’ll also get to see the beautiful tissue-transfer technique, a method of underglaze decoration that is no longer used anywhere else in the world. As the last continuously working Victorian Pot Bank in the UK, Middleport Pottery offers a one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you’re a pottery enthusiast or simply curious about traditional British industry, this tour will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the artistry. | Staffordshire - STOKE-ON-TRENT
