BEYOND WEDGWOOD BLUE

Ruthmere's blockbuster exhibit, Beyond Wedgwood Blue, was displayed at the Havilah Beardsley House in Summer of 2021. This catalogue features information about the exhibit, biographical information about Josiah Wedgwood, and the rich history of the Wedgwood ceramics company.

MELANCHOLY WEDGWOOD

Melancholy Wedgwood traces the multiple strands in the life of the ceramic entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795) to propose an alternative view of eighteenth-century England’s tenuous relationship to our own lives and times, amid the ruins of late-capitalist modernity.

THE WOMAN WHO SAVED WEDGWOOD

In 1909, Daisy Makeig-Jones was hired by the Wedgwood firm in Staffordshire, England, to decorate pottery. She would go on to develop the “Fairyland” luster pattern, which combined dazzling iridescent glazes with motifs from fairytales and would serve to revitalize the Wedgwood brand.
