The tile mural is located on the Market building on South Wolfe Street in Stoke.
The tiles are mounted on a wooden frame on the wall of the building. The blue and white tiles portray aspects associated with the area in pictures and words.
The mural was created with help from Wonder Women, the people of Stoke and Galaxy Youth Group to celebrate Festival Stoke 2017. The project was supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
'In 2017 the arts festival took place in the town centre with Art Street – six artist commissions especially created to bring great art into the outdoor spaces of the town centre for six weeks during June to July.
These included bright lampshades installed outside the shops and in the Minster grounds, ‘To Let’ signs that featured stunning photos of local people and their stories, three huge tile murals in and around the market co-created with artists and local people, an interactive light installation above the shops fronts, and a flower garden bursting out of a filing cabinet on Church Street.
Ceramic Tile Murals - 'Proud of Stoke'
In May 2017 Adam Pryce and Nic Wynstanley created stylish ceramic tile murals that celebrate the places, history and people of Stoke. Picking up on the traditional colours of former Stoke-based pottery Spode, but adding a completely up-to-date twist interweaving responses from local people to the question ‘What makes you proud?’
The murals are presently installed in and around Stoke Market.' Source: (
