As the fifth generation of the pottery family that founded Johnson Brothers, Emily has an unescapable passion for ceramics and for their continued production in England.

Inspired by Delftware, yet using contemporary ceramic transfer techniques, Circle by Shannon Bills depicts a street of Huguenot houses from the East End of London. These houses are themselves a reminder of the influence of successive ways of immigrants to the diverse culture of this area of the city. Bills made Circle for the GCSE public examination art course that she took at Thames Christian College, London. She is currently studying for her A-levels

Much of Max Lamb's work has been inspired by his native cornwall, an upbringing that imbued him with a love of nature and an interest in re-contextualising materials in both a conventional and unconventional manner. Renown for creating beautiful crafted pieces of furniture having traditional process at their core, and exploiting the inherent qualities of materials he uses, Crockery is a testament to the way he challenges traditional values of the materials he uses and the processes with which he manipulates them.

In 1882 the J.W. Pankhurst Company declared themselves bankrupt and the business was sold at a receivers' sale. The buyers were Alfred and Frederick Johnson and the partnership was called Johnson Brothers. The factory was situated in Hanley, the largest of the Six Towns which joined together to form the city of Stoke-on-Trent, lovingly known as the Potteries. As the business expanded their elder brother, Henry, joined them. Fifth Generation Em Johnson,through her new firm 1882 Ltd. is dedicated to the continuing manufacture of British bone china. Bone china is produced using 52% bone.
