STEP BACK IN TIME AND DISCOVER RUSKIN POTTERY AT WEDNESBURY MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY
Staff at Wednesbury Museum and Art gallery are preparing to unveil their newly re-displayed Ruskin Pottery Gallery at the beginning of June.
Ruskin Pottery was produced between 1898 and 1934 in Smethwick and is now collected all over the world with pieces often turning up on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow.... Its colourful, bright glazes make it a real collector’s item and showcases how the area was creating decorative pieces and not just heavy industrial items.
The new gallery is being celebrated with A Presentation With A Difference at 3pm on Saturday June 8 and Wednesday 5 June at 7pm.
Visitors can also meet Ethel, a glaze mixer at the Ruskin Pottery factory around 1924, and hear her stories about life and work in this Smethwick pottery factory.
Entry to the talks is free and there is no need to book just turn up. The talks are supported by an Open Access Award from Creative Black Country as part of the Creative People and Places Scheme.
