By  Penny Hampson 2009 - 2010

This wall is an element of the Pocket Park commission to reflect the Sikh Wedding and Jewellery shopping centre on Dudley Rd, Wolverhampton. The wall is built in Blockley's Hadley Red Brindle brick. The coping bricks are tin glazed. The end columns reflect bangle stacks and each band was designed and decorated by students of Wolverhampton University in the factory. The curved tiled wall, in a fabric length, reflects the brightly coloured shops opposite. The low relief paisley tiles are hand made and painted with coloured slips and glazes. The borders are cut industrial terracotta tiles.
