In April 2016, hearing about the new sci-art blue.dot festival which was set to happen at the nearby Jodrell Bank radio telescope observatory, I made a proposal on Facebook for some kind of Stoke-on-Trent fringe event that might link up with it. The core idea was a suggestions for a new “symphony” in 2018 called Skywave which would link our science heritage with ceramics. I’ve now remembered it again, and have found a little time to work it up as a poster proposal.

Slight correction: I’ve since found, during the research for my book on H.G. Wells in Stoke, that Lodge’s demonstration of electricity must have been at his new home at Wolstanton.
