Craven Dunnill Jackfield

Exciting news from the ceramic world of Craven Dunnill Jackfield! Our exquisite 'Wainscot Drop' ceramic faience tiles, adorned in a luscious mint glaze, are now gracing @bohemechester , a brand-new restaurant in Chester. Each tile tells a story of craftsmanship and attention to detail, promising to elevate the dining experience. As the restaurant takes shape, we're filled with anticipation for the grand reveal next spring 👀

Welcome to the Porcelain Palace for pedestrians! ✨🏛️ The Croydon Colonnade’s striking new facade and pillars are adorned with our cast glazed porcelain blocks, in a stunning array of glazes that redefine architectural beauty. Crafted with love and expertise by our talented craftsmen and craftswomen at our 150 year-old tile factory, this project is a true testament to the timeless artistry and craftsmanship that defines us. Designed by the brilliant @adamnathanielfurman , the Croydon Colonnade is a symbol of innovation, heritage, and design excellence. Stay tuned for more glimpses into this work of art! 📸 captured in all its glory by the talented Gareth Gardner.

Remember when we shared a sneak peek earlier this year of Jed 3D scanning the tiles for restoration at Victoria Station? Well, the project is now fully complete, and the results are nothing short of stunning! 🚂 🗺️ Two historic Victorian Rail Network Maps at the entrance to Victoria Station have now been restored by @restore_london_ltd . These 1899 maps, encased in their original niches, underwent extensive conservation, including the restoration of damaged faience tiles and granite plinths. Our team worked closely with @benedict_olooney_architects and others to ensure every detail was meticulously cared for. Where necessary, replacement tiles were handcrafted using 3D scanning and colour-matching techniques, ensuring a seamless restoration. A huge thank you to @railway_heritage_trust for their ongoing support in preserving these important pieces of London’s architectural history. Swipe right to see more of the colour-matching process 👀

The most exciting post I’ve ever received? This is the first test mould ceramic tile sent to me by @cdjackfield from a project I’ve been working on with young people in bexhill with @delawarr It’s a co-design project so this design came from a relief block print made by hollie. All the tiles will form two big collaborative tiled murals I’ve designed ! coming soon I hope! Not sure if the nail colour or glaze came first .. @delawarr @railway200official @cdjackfield #publicart #ceramictiles

In 2025, @kingsfoundation student @rubyrdaley joined us in the factory to hone skills in the art of mosaic and encaustic manufacturing. This week, her hard work was officially unveiled at @alderhey hospital 🏥 Ruby is pictured here with our Floor Tile and R&D Production Manager, Chris Cox, alongside the talented team from @themosaicrestorationcompany Gary, Guy, and Pawel, who brought the installation to life in the old portico. The mosaic will soon be joined by furniture, metalwork, and stained glass created by fellow students to celebrate the completion of their Building Arts Programme. As one of only a handful of traditional encaustic manufacturers remaining, it’s more important now than ever to ensure these heritage skills are preserved for the future ⚒️ 🎨

🏆 We were extremely proud to see several projects we’ve been involved with recognised at this year’s @civictrustawards ceremony. It is an honor to contribute to the preservation of such iconic buildings. Two projects that received awards were: 🏛️ Palace of Westminster The restoration of the stunning encaustic tile pavements received a Highly Commended AABC Conservation Award. This recognition is given to projects demonstrating the absolute highest standards of building conservation. 💧 Withington Baths A winner in the same category. We were proud to supply the glazed wall tiles, meticulously matched to the originals to bring this historic space back to life. Founded in 1959, the Civic Trust Awards are the longest-standing architectural awards in Europe. They celebrate buildings and honour projects that deliver sustainability, accessibility, and a positive impact on their local communities. Huge congratulations to all the teams involved! 🥂 📸 @insallarch 📸 @sevenarchitecture #CivicTrustAwards #Architecture #Restoration #Conservation #PalaceOfWestminster #WithingtonBaths #HeritageRestoration #TileDesign #builtenvironment

From concept to creation 🖌️ Every project starts with an idea… but at Jackfield, it becomes something truly one of a kind. Working closely with clients, each design is developed from initial concept through to final installation, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to bring even the most complex visions to life. From hand-carved moulds and precise slip casting, to expert 3D scanning and colour-matching, detailed glazing and firing, every step of the process is carefully considered to ensure a flawless finish. Whether it’s a heritage restoration, a large-scale commercial project, a residential upgrade, or a completely bespoke design, no two projects are ever the same. Crafted with care. Designed to last. Built to tell a story.

Women have played a huge role in the ceramics industry since its beginnings. 🏺 Often valued for their nimble fingers and attention to detail, thousands of women worked in the factories that produced the decorative wares Britain became famous for. Many were skilled “paintresses,” carefully hand-painting patterns, applying gold decoration, or placing transfer-printed designs onto pottery and tiles. Their steady hands and precision were essential to the final look of each piece. Women also worked across production — preparing clay, glazing, finishing, and packing ceramics that were shipped around the world. Today, we’re proud to continue this tradition. Over half of our workforce at our Jackfield and Stoke factories are women. Here are a few images of the team in action. #internationalwomensday2026 #Ceramics #CeramicsHistory #WomenInIndustry #britishceramics

Celebrating #internationalwomensday♀️ Women in Property has spent over 30 years creating opportunities, expanding knowledge, and inspiring women across the property and construction industry. As a networking and professional development organisation, it continues to play an important role in supporting women across the sector. We welcomed representatives from @kiwibuild @fishergermanllp #DoddGroup @wlt_commercial @carter_jonas_homes #MK2RealEstate #StaceLLP and @bnpparibas for a factory tour and tile decorating experience. The visit offered a chance to explore the rich history of ceramics in the Ironbridge Gorge, and to reflect on the important role women have played from the Jackfield factory floor in the 1850s through to the site management team today. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, share knowledge, and celebrate the impact of women across property, construction, and manufacturing with beautiful tiles due out of the Kiln soon! #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInProperty #BuiltEnvironment #Midlands #Manufacturing #Networking #tiles #educationalnetworking #Ironbridge #madeinuk #A&D

Last week, we took tile decorating on the road to Clerkenwell, hosted by the brilliant team @jadamsandco The evening brought together A&D brands from @doddsandshute , @elicyon @kellyhoppen Design and @deroseesa who all share a passion for heritage and British manufacturing — a chance to celebrate craftsmanship, creativity, and genuine connection. A highlight of the evening was hearing guests ideas and perspectives. Events like this spark real engagement, meaningful conversations, and grow social visibility — proof that there’s a strong appetite for quality, transparency, and true craftsmanship. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so creative and inspiring. Your tiles will be coming out of the kiln soon! 🔥✨
