World of Wedgwood

Set in attractive parkland 8 miles south of Hanley, the modern production centre for Josiah Wedgwood's porcelain empire displays an extensive collection of historic pieces, including plenty of Wedgwood's delicate, neoclassical blue-and-white jasperware at its museum. On weekdays there are guided factory tours lasting 45 minutes (reserve in advance). Pot throwing (over-12s only) and design workshops take place at its Master Craft and Decorating studios.
