Wedgwood Factory & Museum Tours & Pottery Class

World of Wedgwood - Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent

I loved touring the Factory and recognising the hard work that goes into making dining sets and all shapes and sizes of pots, cups, saucers etc. It was especially lovely to see the craftsmen working in the Factory Tour who clearly loved what they do, some of whom have done it for over many decades.
The strong heritage of the brand is very appealing as well as the creation of the items. This was clear in the Museum Tour as well because as we walked from room to room we discovered fascinating facts about the family Wedgwood. We noted the pieces that have been so important to the brand throughout history, such as the Jasper sets that they're so famous for. Be sure to visit the museum and find the Queen's dining and tea set that she used for her coronation.
After some lovely afternoon tea we went for a crafting session. You can see Bianca (blogger at http://www.frenchforpineapple.com/) and I are posing in front of the Master Craft Studio where we had a really fun pottery class. I loved making mine and I can't wait to paint it :)
