Watts Gallery is fortunate to host a display of ceramics and oil paintings by William and Evelyn De Morgan. Bringing together richly decorated ceramics by William De Morgan with visionary symbolic paintings by his wife, Evelyn, this sumptuous display showcases the artistic achievements of this extraordinary creative partnership.
The De Morgans were close friends with the Wattses and were regular visitors to Limnerslease as well as collaborating with them on several projects.This display celebrates that friendship and marks the launch of a partnership between Watts Gallery – Artists' Village and the De Morgan Foundation that will help to establish an internationally important centre where visitors and students can explore Victorian art, social history, craft and design.
The Art Forum has been working in collaboration with the De Morgan Collection to research and record talks about the collection.
These are now available to listen to - a great example of young people's engagement with museum collections.
