Working with a group of young people in Burslem, supported by Unity a social enterprise company, CJ O&#8217;Neill has been experimenting with ceramics and graffiti, working towards a &#8216;WonderWall&#8217; to launch on the Biennial&#8217;s opening weekend, and a range of tableware to be marketed as &#8216;Monkey Business&#8217; through BCB Ltd.

Responding to the skills of the city&#8217;s flower-makers, Stephen Dixon is making a site-specific work for the Museum&#8217;s courtyard: a battleship made from white fired flowers. Complementing this is a flower trail throughout the Museum installed by the artist, and film and portrait photographs of the flower-makers themselves. 

_Admission charges apply to the museum._

Denise O&#8217;Sullivan&#8217;s guerrilla activities have been underway in the Titantic Brewery pubs of Stoke, Penkhull and Burslem. At each venue, drop-in workshops were run encouraging local participants to express their creativity through the humble (ceramic!) beer mat. The final collection of beer mats are now hidden within a &#8216;wish box&#8217; of drawers representing each pub and are on display for visitors to discover. Following the project themes of multiples, repetition and production, Denise has made an artwork in response to her experiences.

h2. *Robert Dawson* 

Robert Dawson has been working on a proposal for an installation in a redundant space within the City. Moved by the experience of visiting former ceramic factories, Robert wishes to re-use the discarded chinaware and kiln furniture to create something that is monumental and evocative of mass production but that is also about celebrating the processes involved and emphasising new possibilities. His search for the most appropriate space will now continue beyond this year's Biennial as we have agreed that his project will now be postponed until 2010.
