Events
This year’s lecture programme takes place across five days of the fair. Ceramics dominate (a reflection of the origins of this event as the International Ceramics Fair & Seminar) and topics include ‘Geminiano Cozzi, his manufactory and its porcelain’, ‘Ceramic Treasures from the Colonial Williamsburg Collection’ and ‘Coloured Worcester Porcelain of The First Period – The HR Marshall Collection at The Ashmolean Museum’. ‘Face to Face’ brings together Dame Rosalind Savill and Richard, 10th Duke of Buccleuch to discuss the duke’s project to preserve four country houses.
Tickets and a full list of lectures are available via the fair’s website.
