The Wedgwood Visitor Centre
Josiah was a multi-talented visionary: he combined the skills of a scientist, an artist, an engineer, a social and environmental reformer with shrewd commercial instincts. He not only created unique designs that are still produced today but he also revolutionised the manufacturing process. Over the years Kings and Queens, Tsars, Emperors and Sultans have selected Wedgwood for their tables. Today, collectors and buyers of Wedgwood include the rich and famous throughout the world as well as thousands who cherish and value the distinctive quality that marks Wedgwood.
The Wedgwood Visitor Centre is like no other factory visit - not only will you find rare and valuable exhibits tracing the rich history of the company but you will also experience the whole production process from raw clay to throwing, forming and casting, glazing, firing and decorating. You can even try your hand at the potter's wheel! The story of Wedgwood is told through film, exhibits, and interactive displays. You will watch potters and decorators at work and be taken into the factory itself where you can witness at first hand, the latest technology blended with production and design techniques developed by Josiah himself in the 18th century.
