The Teapot Factory brings together like-minded and dedicated individuals to use the foundations of Stoke-on-Trent's incredible past to understand our identity and reframe it for the future. Starting with our heritage buildings, we want to re-purpose and re-build to create an exciting place to live.

Why a Teapot?
Teapots are the perfect symbol for artistic endeavour meeting utilitarian function. They can be used ceremoniously or in daily life and they symbolise the coming together of people.
