The World of Wedgwood and the Rediscovery of Antiquity
Join Professor Alastair Blanshard as he explores the eighteenth-century fascination with antiquity, from Grand Tour adventures to neoclassical design, uncovering the bold figures – scholars, scoundrels, and forgers – who shaped the era and fuelled the demand for Josiah Wedgwood’s iconic pottery.
Breaking the Mould: how Wedgwood changed ceramics
In this talk art historian Timothy Roberts will explore how Wedgwood has embraced tradition and change during its 265-year history, richly illustrated by many highlights of Wedgwood’s production, from iconic pieces to lesser-known jewels and even playful variations on familiar themes.
