Ouseburn Bridge Pottery Rules

Ouseburn Bridge Pottery Rules responds to the punitive fines and regulations imposed on workers during the 1800's. The rules are re-appropriated for a series of prints made using traditional wooden type, printed by hand onto original dress patterns. The correlation with today's proposed anti-trade union legislation, welfare sanctions , zero hour contracts and assault on the Human Rights Act, highlights the neoliberal ideology of challenging who ‘owns’ labour within the drive for cheap, dispensable labour.
