A portrait head of Josiah Wedgwood, commissioned for the 1986 National Garden Festival in Stoke-on-Trent. In 2009 the statue was moved to near the site of Josiah Wedgwood’s home, Etruria Hall, now part of a hotel. This new location is also close to where he built his Etruria factory in 1769. This sculpture was removed from public view on 31st January 2023. It will be re-sited in a new location at a later date.
