Chimneys Kiln Kilns Potteries Potters Pottery Staffordshire Staffs Wheel Barrow
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, transports us back in time to the heart of the Staffordshire Potteries in England. The image showcases a collection of traditional wooden pottery kilns, their chimneys billowing smoke into the sky. The scene is bustling with activity, as potters work diligently to shape and mold clay into various forms using potter's wheels. The wooden kilns, a hallmark of the Staffordshire Potteries, were an essential part of the production process. Once the pots were formed, they were carefully loaded into the kilns for firing. The slow, even heat of the kiln transformed the clay into durable, finished pieces. The chimneys, which towered above the factory, were necessary for the release of gases produced during the firing process. Despite the industrial nature of the scene, there is a sense of craftsmanship and artistry present. The potters, focused on their work, are a testament to the skill and dedication required to create these intricate and beautiful pieces. A wheelbarrow sits nearby, ready to transport the freshly fired pots to the cooling area. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of the Staffordshire Potteries and the traditional methods used to create the renowned pottery that continues to be cherished today.
