Join us for this free talk with Andrew Renton!
Among the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery’s fantastic collection of ceramics, a real highlight is the pottery and porcelain made at Swansea’s Cambrian Pottery between the 1770s and 1870. Using a selection of personal favourites, this talk explores the fascinating stories these objects tell about the people and history of Swansea.
