Exploring the pottery industry’s history

Starting on Friday, 2nd February 2024, Miranda Goodby, the former head of ceramics at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, is running a six-week course exploring the social history of the pottery industry.

The course at Newcastle’s Brampton Museum costs £80. Students will learn about Newcastle’s forgotten pottery industry, the growth of the Staffordshire Potteries in the 18th and 19th centuries, working conditions in the industry and the dramatic changes that took place in the 20th century.
