Today we're celebrating a very special milestone for one of our fantastic Sliphouse Operatives, Dennis.

Dennis turns 60 today (apparently!), but after 5 years of making clay, we're convinced it must have anti-ageing properties because he certainly doesn't look it! 😄

Dennis works hard making the clay at our factory that keeps our customers creating. His dedication, hard work and great personality make him a much-valued member of the Valentine Clays team.

From everyone at VC, we hope you have a fantastic birthday and a well-deserved celebration.

📮 A new tradition has begun! 📮

Some months ago we introduced a simple rule at Valentine Clays...

If you go on holiday, you have to send a postcard back to the team.

The very first one to arrive is from our Head of Sales, Dave Wheeldon, who sent this lovely postcard all the way from Rome. 🇮🇹

It landed on our doorstep today, despite Dave's trip being back in March, so it's fair to say this new tradition is taking its time to get started!

We think it's a lovely way to share a little piece of our adventures with one another and bring a smile to the office when the postie arrives.

Thanks, Dave, for kicking off our new office tradition.
We can't wait to see where the next one arrives from. 🌍✨

Good luck to England in their opening match tonight! ⚽

We'll be cheering them on from Staffordshire and hoping for a winning start to the tournament.

If you are calling up or calling in tomorrow please be gentle with our team... there may be a few croaky voices, tired eyes and an unusually high demand for tea!

Come on England! 🦁🦁🦁

Yesterday Dave & Mark had the pleasure of visiting Cheshire Clay Studios for the launch of Milton Bridge Ceramic Colours beautiful new Studio Line glaze range, By The Sea, created in collaboration with Keith Brymer Jones.

It was fantastic to see the range officially unveiled after so much behind-the-scenes work and anticipation. There's always something special about seeing a project come to life, and the collection looks absolutely stunning.

One of the best parts of the day was catching up with so many lovely people from across the ceramics community. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, share ideas, and celebrate the launch together.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing By The Sea to life – it's a range we're incredibly proud to have been part of, and we can't wait to see the beautiful work potters create with it.

Fantastic news for British ceramics!

We’re delighted to hear that Burleigh Pottery, one of the UK’s most iconic and historic pottery brands, has been secured for the future following its acquisition by former Burberry CEO Christopher Bailey and a group of investors.

The deal safeguards all 62 skilled jobs at Middleport Pottery and ensures that Burleigh’s unique hand-crafted traditions will continue for generations to come.

As the last pottery in the world still using traditional hand tissue-transfer printing techniques, Burleigh represents the very best of British craftsmanship and ceramic heritage. This investment is a powerful vote of confidence in the future of UK manufacturing and the incredible skills that make our industry so special.

Congratulations to everyone at Burleigh Pottery. We look forward to seeing this remarkable, 175 year old British ceramic brand continue to thrive. 👏

National Forklift Safety Day 🚜🦺

Today, we’re celebrating one of the unsung heroes of the production floor…..the forklift!

For over two years, our Assistant Head of Production, Brad, has been helping new team members get to grips with forklift safety and making sure things are running smoothly across the site. From moving tonnes of clay to keeping the warehouse organised, there’s a lot more to forklifts than meets the eye!

Safety is a huge part of what we do at Valentine Clays.

By making sure our team has the right training and support, we can keep everyone safe while making sure your clay is packed up and on its way as quickly as possible.

So, here’s to safe lifting, smooth shipping, and the hardworking team behind every bag of clay 🙌

Happy 101st Birthday, Stoke-on-Trent! 🎉

Tomorrow marks 101 years since Stoke-on-Trent was granted city status, and we couldn't be prouder to call this remarkable place home.

For generations, this city has been built on clay, craftsmanship, hard work and community. From the bottle kilns that shaped our skyline to the makers, artists and innovators who continue to shape our future, Stoke-on-Trent has always been a place where creativity thrives.

We're proud to be based here, in this oatcake-eating, clay-filled corner of the world, populated by some of the loveliest, most creative and humble folk you could ever hope to meet.

The Potteries runs through our veins, and every day we're reminded why this city remains the heart of British ceramics.

Here's to Stoke-on-Trent ❤️
