Burslem-born Robbie Williams has teamed up with local ceramic design brand 1882 Ltd to transform two of his ‘inkling’ drawings into abstract works of art depicting Jesus and The Pope. 

The superstar singer’s technicolour pieces sit alongside a collection of works donated by 60 of the UK’s leading artists, architects, designers, musicians and creative polymaths. 

The artworks have been transformed into plates by the Barlastan-based company and are being auctioned off to fund an apprenticeship scheme. 

Publicising the show, Robbie said: “I’m from the Potteries, Burslem born & bred. Clay built our city. We are of the earth - we are earthy people.”
