You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.206.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Stoke-on-Trent Regional College of Art''' was one of three colleges that were merged in 1971 to form North Staffordshire Polytechnic (later renamed as Staffordshire Polytechnic and now [[Staffordshire University]]). The College of Art achieved Regional Art College status after the [[Second World War]], but its roots lay in the nineteenth century as it was formed from three of [[the Potteries]]´ art schools. 

Although the six towns which make up Stoke-on-Trent were a relatively small conurbation, each had its own art school: those at Fenton, Hanley and Tunstall had closed by the time the Regional College of Art was created, leaving Burslem, Longton and Stoke.

== Burslem ==
[[Burslem School of Art]] was perhaps the best known art school in the Potteries.  It was provided with a fine building in 1905.  Burslem continued to be the home of the Department of Fine Art for some years after the formation of North Staffordshire Polytechnic.  Staff at Burslem included [[Arthur Berry (playwright)|Arthur Berry]] who taught at the Polytechnic until 1985 by which time Fine Art had moved to College Road.

== Longton ==
The Departments of ''Ceramics'' and ''Fashion and Textiles'' were housed in the Sutherland Institute, Longton.<ref>[http://www.thepotteries.org/listed/91a.html Listed buildings in SOT - Sutherland Institute]</ref>
In 1962 the Advanced Diploma in Art & Design (Ceramics) was offered by the Stoke-on-Trent Regional College of Art. Later, with the merger of the National Council for Diplomas in Art & Design and the [[Council for National Academic Awards]], this was to become the first MA (Master of Arts) postgraduate course in North Staffordshire Polytechnic. 
After the formation of the North Staffordshire Polytechnic, [[Colin Melbourne]], the sculptor and ceramic designer, who was Head of Ceramic Design at Longton became Head of Fine Arts in the new institution.

== Stoke==
The Stoke College of Art was housed in the Herbert Minton Building <ref>[http://www.thepotteries.org/listed/133a.html Listed buildings in SOT - Herbert Minton Building (former Art School), Stoke]</ref> in London Road from the mid-1850s. Amongst the artists who were educated in the Stoke School was [[Arnold Machin]] the sculptor, who designed the portrait of the Queen which has appeared on postage stamps since 1967 (the [[Machin series]]). 
In 1964 Graphic Design & Printing relocated to the Technical College site in Stoke (the present Staffordshire University College Road campus). Printing education was a feature of the Stoke School and many advances in ceramic [[transfer-print|transfer printing]] (particularly in [[offset printing|offset lithography]]) were first developed there by the Deardens (father and son) before their wider adoption by the ceramics industry.

==Developments in art education at North Staffordshire Polytechnic==
In 1973 the departments of Graphic Design and Three-Dimensional Design (the latter being the renamed Department of Ceramics) combined their resources to offer a new and unique course in Multidisciplinary Design. This concept of multidisciplinary design echoed much of the philosophy of the [[Bauhaus]] of the 1920s and 1930s. Students were able to choose from a range of design subject areas and to combine them in solving design problems often located in the local community. The design disciplines available then were: typography; illustration, scientific & medical illustration; photography; audio-visual communication; textiles; industrial ceramics; ceramic sculpture; glass; silverware & jewellery; and product design.

In the early 1970s, the Department of the History of Art & Design and Complementary Studies was established. Again this was forward-looking in establishing the study of the history of art and design as an academic discipline in its own right.

In the early seventies research into letterform design for [[cathode ray tube]]s was carried out in collaboration with [[International Computers Limited]] (ICL) in Kidsgrove by staff and students in the Department of Graphic Design, North Staffordshire Polytechnic. In the same period collaborative research into computer-assisted typesetting was carried out with The [[Monotype Corporation]].

By the end of the 1970s both design departments (Graphic Design and Three-Dimensional Design) were actively involved in many aspects of information technology and computing applied to design. In this particular application of computers, the departments were pioneers and amongst the first in the country. In 1982 the [[Department of Trade and Industry (United Kingdom)|Department of Trade and Industry]] sponsored an exhibition (IT82) outlining the advantages of computing and information technology for industry. The design departments were successful in persuading the DTI to locate this travelling exhibition on the College Road campus – the only visit for the north Midlands. The pioneering involvement in the applications of computing to Design was to lead to the development of the first [[Business And Technology Education Council (BTEC)|BTEC]] course in Multimedia Design. In conjunction with the Department of Computing, the first degree course in Interactive Systems Design in the United Kingdom was developed.

In the 1980s the design departments became involved in research for the computer-aided design of ceramic shapes using solid modelling techniques, and surface pattern designs using advanced computer graphics. The experience gained in this area was to be used in the early planning of the Hothouse Design Centre located in Longton.
