Cleveland Bridge - The Bridge Today

The Bridge Today

The distinctive lodges of Cleveland Bridge are now restored to their former glory and are back in use as homes. One, however, remains a working premises. Sculptures by ceramic artist Peter Hayes are on display around the world but he still works from a studio below his gallery at lodge number 2. His techniques for creating a patina include immersing half-completed pieces for a period of months in the river, where they absorb minerals from the water.

Famous quotes containing the words bridge and/or today:

    Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
    Audre Lorde (1934–1992)

    We had to take the world as it was given:
    The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
    Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
    The mornings happened similar and stark
    In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
    Watching today unfold like yesterday.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
