The Emma Bridgewater factory in Stoke-on-Trent is a mecca for
lovers of its iconic pottery; but tucked within is a walled garden
bursting with nectar-rich, jazzy-toned flowers and rare-breed
chickens. This is where Arthur Parkinson - gardener, florist and
poultry keeper - used to work his magic. Inspired by his friend,
gardener and florist Sarah Raven, and childhood hen-keeping pen pal
the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, Parkinson's domain was one
of resplendent flowers, platoon feather-legged hens, handwritten
blackboards, flower arranging and wasteland foliage foraging - all
carried out in one of the most unlikely places a garden could
happen to exist: a working pottery.

Emma Bridgewater's patterns are as quintessentially British as
marmalade on toast - and they have made her distinctive homewares
best sellers across the world. Her inspiration is often deeply
personal - a plate of her mother's, a favourite children's book -
and as she tells the stories of each pattern's creation, she
reveals the intricate processes of research and collaboration
behind the familiar designs she has stamped on our kitchenware -
and our hearts - for the past thirty years. Both an entrancing trip
down memory lane and a behind-the-scenes look at a thriving
creative business, Emma Bridgewater's PATTERN is essential reading
for anyone who has ever turned over their mug after draining their
tea and wondered about the human story behind that proud
declaration: Made in Stoke-on-Trent, England...
