Our next meeting will be held at 2.30pm on Wednesday 14 October when ceramics historian Rob Higgins will speak on:

"Morris & de Morgan - how they changed the World (and Ironbridge)"

The Industrial Revolution changed the world, and the Arts and Crafts Movement also changed the world as it adjusted to the effects of the Industrial Revolution.

Central to the Arts and Crafts Movement was William Morris and its greatest ceramicist was William de Morgan.
