Discussion about English potter and tile designer William de Morgan within the wider context of whether the Arts and Crafts Movement is a modern or an anti-modern movement and why this question is important to craft and design history.
In addition to examining de Morgan’s practice, she will look at contemporary potters and ceramic artists who carry on the tradition of romanticizing the pastoral Arts and Crafts movement.
