Lecturer: Matthew Williams
William De Morgan was an intimate friend of William Morris and ‘Ned’ BurneJones. He began his career as a painter; he became a stained-glass maker, best-selling author and one of the most imaginative and amusing potters and tile-makers of the nineteenth century. His work now commands extremely high prices in the saleroom, as does that by his wife Evelyn, herself an accomplished artist. The lecture examines their fascinating and delightful artistic partnership.
