Burslem School of Art

In 1906 the foundation stone was laid of a purpose-built art school, and the institution moved across Queen Street to this accommodation designed by A.R.

[2] The new building with its distinctive large windows helped Burlem School of Art become pre-eminent in the district.

The School of Art was listed Grade II in 1993, [2] but despite this protection it was left empty and boarded up for a time.

Regular art ceramics training courses returned to the building in 2012 and continue to run.

Other notable staff members included Arthur Berry who featured in at least two television programmes in the Monitor series with Huw Weldon.
