Two Delightful Days at the World of Wedgwood-so good we went twice!
What splendid days we had at the World of Wedgwood! Blessed with wonderful sunny weather, our visits were truly memorable.
Each visit began with a fascinating tour of the factory. It was amazing to see the artisans at work, creating the beautiful pieces Wedgwood is known for. We learned about the intricate processes involved in making such exquisite ceramics - truly a blend of art and craftsmanship.
