Friends' Talk: More than Maw
- 5th Nov 2025
- 7.30pm
- The Glass Classroom, Coalbrookdale
- Free for Friends of IGMT, £1 for guests
Join the Friends' for this talk by Rob Higgins about decorated tile making in and around Ironbridge and Broseley.
In the late 19th century Maw & Co. in Jackfield was one of the world’s largest makers of decorated tiles, but tile making in the locality was more than Maw.
Rob Higgins will explore tile makers such as Penelope Thorn, Craven Dunnill and the Jeffrey family. Some of the the activity of Severn Valley designers outside the region will be presented, and Rob will contrast working practices in the Severn valley with that of other tile makers in the UK. Rob will bring along a small display of tiles from his collection.
This is a joint meeting with the Broseley Local History Society.
