Membership is open to anyone with an interest in Wedgwood . Our meetings are open to the public and we welcome all who appreciate the art and timeless beauty of Wedgwood.

Upcoming Events
JOSIAH WEDGWOOD,
CHEROKEE CLAY, AND THE
18th-CENTURY FASCINATION WITH INDIGENEITY
Our next meeting will be on Sunday,
July 18 at 2:00 pm, on ZOOM.
Dr. Susan Egenolf from Texas A&M will discuss "Josiah Wedgwood, Cherokee Clay, and the 18th-Century Fascination with Indigeneity". In April 1768 Josiah Wedgwood acquired five tons of Cherokee clay from North Carolina which lasted him until at least until 1783. Wedgwood later wrote that Cherokee clay was the basis for the new biscuit porcelain (jasper) that he was making.
This ZOOM meeting is open to all WSWDC members in good standing. Please check the ZOOM section
in our Members Only section for
