💙🩵Retreat Update🩵💙

Below is my ' here's what I made earlier' example of a Jasperware inspired snowflake xmas tree decoration. The pottery we will use will be a mix of antique/Victorian pottery found in a local nature reserve which was once a landfill site and also pre loved pottery from the Brick Shops in Wigan.
Interesting facts about Wedgwood Jasperware:
🩵Josiah Wedgwood developed Jasperware after years of experimentation, perfecting it around 1774.
🩵The iconic, pale blue ("Wedgwood blue") was achieved by adding cobalt oxide. Other colors include green, lilac, black, pink, yellow, and more.
🩵 It was a major achievement for Wedgwood, reflecting his scientific and artistic innovation.
🩵It was a popular and prestigious item, sometimes given as a royal gift.
🩵A famous early use was the creation of anti-slavery medallions, which became a powerful symbol for the movement.
