Worldwide Lecture Series - Patterns of Fashion: Transfer printed designs 1850-1910

1PM EDT

Speaker: Miranda Goodby

Between c.1850 and 1910 British printed ceramics underwent a huge change from largely conventional floral and landscape designs to self-consciously bizarre and exotic patterns inspired by a variety of sources from Japan to Art Nouveau.

Companies from the 'first-class' firms to the small manufactories were all similarly inspired - but largely filtered their patterns through a practical Staffordshire attitude towards what would sell well.

Miranda Goodby is a freelance ceramics specialist, writer and museum consultant. She has worked at a number of English museums and was Senior Curator of Ceramics at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent, for 28 years, before leaving in 2023. Her specialist interest in Staffordshire ceramics and their makers has earned her an international reputation. She has lectured widely in the UK, North America and Europe, and has curated ground-breaking collaborative exhibitions, such as the 2021 touring exhibition Majolica Mania, with international partners.
