Beyond Blue and White
The Richmond Hillβs Heritage Centre, in Ontario, Canada, presents its latest exhibition, ππ¦πΊπ°π―π₯ πππΆπ¦ & ππ©πͺπ΅π¦: ππ¦π₯π¨πΈπ°π°π₯ ππ¦π΄πͺπ¨π―π¦π₯ π§π°π³ ππ’π―π’π₯π’ running through April 20, 2024. It explores the growth of the popular British ceramic and its expansion into the North American market. In late 2016, the estate of the late Keith Alwyn McLeod (1935-2014) donated a collection of over 400 Canadian-themed pieces to the KHCC. Keith amassed the most complete collection of Canadian-themed Wedgwood in existence, and the exhibit features more than 50 unique pieces, showcasing landscapes, heraldry, souvenirs, history and commemorative tributes. Many Wedgwoodians would know Professor McLeod as the longtime seminar chair, and later president, of the WIS. He presented a lecture on this subject to the WSWDC in 2002.
