The World of Wedgwood, Staffordshire

Thursday 2nd May 

Staffordshire potter and entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood (1730 – 95) was a pioneering tastemaker, marketeer and social campaigner. In 1759, Josiah founded his ceramics company which achieved global success and remains in production today.   Comprising over 175,000 works of art, ceramics, manuscripts and photographs, the V&A Wedgwood Collection documents production up to the present day, showcasing innovations in taste and fashion spanning over 260 years.

We arrive at lunchtime, which includes a seasonal soup served with a sandwich of choice, fries and a pot of Wedgwood English Breakfast tea.  During our visit, we will take a tour of the Wedgwood Factory for a behind-the-scenes experience and find out how Wedgwood is designed, created and crafted.  We will have free time to explore the Wedgwood collections, museum and shop before heading home.
