Jesus & The Pope
Robbie Williams debuts four imaginative, dynamic and technicolour ceramic artworks.
Inspired by two drawings by Williams of Jesus and The Pope, the pieces have been brought to life by the masterful hands of 1882 Ltd.’s potters based in Stoke-on-Trent, not only the historical epicentre of British pottery but Williams’ childhood hometown.
“I'm from Stoke and we are the potteries and it's what we are famous for. And it's what has given us relevance on the map, in the UK and around the world. It is ingrained in me – we are of clay.” Robbie Williams
