An exhibition exploring an unusual experiment in the history of design which appeared at Harrods store in London in 1934. Twenty-seven artists were challenged to raise the standard of design by working with leading ceramic factories to produce affordable tableware for everyday use. The results were diverse and fascinating.

The participating artists included the figurative artists Laura Knight, the Bloomsbury Group’s Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell and leading modernists including Paul Nash, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson.

On display will be examples of the ceramics created for the exhibition and information exploring the artists involved and the legacy of the designs.
