I have recently visited The World of Wedgwood, it is a feast for my eyes. I would like to share my experience.
最近参观了英国著名瓷器品牌Wedgwood的体验中心The World of Wedgwood, 被里面精美绝伦的瓷器所震撼，绝对是一次眼睛的盛宴。参观之后才知道，Wedgwood的创世人Josiah Wedgwood竟是如此惊才绝艳的一位人物，他不仅号称英国陶瓷之父，还是英国顶级中的顶级社团月光社的成员之一。下面和大家分享一下这次经历：
The entrance
非常期待这次参观，终于到了：
“Teaware” made by sticks:
广场非常整洁漂亮，这里有用树枝做的各种茶具，孩子们非常喜欢在这里奔跑玩耍：

这位就是Wedgwood的创始人，大牛Josiah Wedgwood，怀中抱着的是他的成名作品：Portland花瓶
Water in front of the museum:
在广场前还有一个小喷泉，孩子们在这里就玩了近一个小时：
Lots of visitors here
来之前以为英国瓷器应该是比较小众的，到了这里才发现这里的游客竟然非常多，游客中有很多从日本和其他亚洲国家，也会偶尔听到有人在讲熟悉的中文。
本来纠结了一番是否要参加工厂的tour，但最后还是参加了。好来感觉这个tour还是很有意思的，绝对涨姿势！在参观的过程中你会被这里带带相传的工艺，以及敬业的工作人员所折服。
The factory tour is absolutely worth it - you will be inspired by the craftsmanship and skills passed through the generations.
The models
在没有进入工厂前，可以看到各种模具
A typical clay item shrinks by approximately 13% when fired in the biscuit kiln.
茶具在烧制后会缩小约13%：
All chinaware are fired at temperatures over 1000 degree.
所有瓷器都要在超过1000度的高温下烧制.
It is a shame that photos are strictly prohibited within the factory.
非常遗憾的是，工厂内部严禁照相，只能把自己能记住的和大家说说了，里面主要介绍瓷器制作的各个步骤，从最开始的陶土，如何通过模具制作各种造型，再如何烧制和上色等。
The shop entrance is very beautiful
平时出去玩对纪念品店很少会感兴趣，可这次的经历却截然不同，里面的各种精美瓷器和丰富的色彩绝对是一个视觉上的享受。纪念品店入口处就很漂亮：
Very posh inside:
我感觉店内可定是由专业设计师来设计的，内部非常典雅大气：

由各种瓷器做成的一个动物，我觉得是狮子：
Teawares:
自然还有五颜六色的各种精美茶具:
Vera Wang has been working with Wedgwood
号称婚纱女王的著名华裔设计师Vera Wang王薇薇和Wedgwood曾经多次跨界合作，设计除了Gilded Leaf 金色年华，Gilded Weave 金色霓赏等系列精品。
The stylish central bar
在商店中心的吧台也非常有设计感：
The tearoom is elegant and graceful
这里的茶室非常的典雅漂亮，不过价格也不菲，每人16英镑，似乎比Betty’s的还要贵。本来打算体验一下的，但赶上有旅游团来，位置竟然被订满了。只能把这个遗憾留着，下次再来吧。
The museum is absolutely fantastic and you should not miss it. Lots of things to see in the museum, I would suggest to leave at least two hours there.
根据官网的说法，博物馆内可看的东西很多，建议至少留两个小时的时间。进去之后感觉确实如此，我只是被精美的瓷器所震撼，如果是真正的瓷器爱好者的话，估计可以在里面待上半天。
The entrance:
这里是博物馆入口处，还有Josiah的卡通画
Trails for kids
这里还非常体贴的给孩子们提供了trail，让孩子们不会觉得太枯燥：
Elegant corridor
典雅的走廊墙壁上挂着他家的一些作品照片：
Wedgwood：
The manual process in early years:
曾经带孩子体验过几次手工制作瓷器，都是使用那个能够不停转的机器。真心没有想到，连制模这个步骤过去都可以设计出简单的手工操作工具，伟大的人类！
Fine teaware:
里面有着让人眼花缭乱的精美茶具，我这个外行只能看看颜色和样式了：
Josiah's workbench
哈哈，没有想到，在Josiah的书桌上竟然有着类似文房四宝的东东，我管它叫做文房四宝之英国版：
Stirrup cup in the form of a hare's head; hand-painted in under-glaze blue.
这是瓷器兔头，我觉得是源于过去的英国狩猎文化

配有花鸟的瓷器：
Egypt style chinaware
埃及风格瓷器：
Bone china
下图是著名的英国骨瓷。曾经有人说：“当遇见骨瓷的那一刻，她骨子里蕴藏的贵族气质便在不经意间表露无遗。”，的确，真心的高大上，其实骨瓷不仅非常漂亮大气，还超级坚固，四个杯子就能撑起一座汽车的重量！

Wedgwood was a member of lunar society
Wedgwood还是著名的月光社成员，这个月光社可以说是精英中的精英，人数从未超过14。生物学家达尔文，蒸汽机发明者瓦特等都是月光社的成员。
Big vase
大花瓶：
最后带着孩子们体验了一下瓷器的制作过程。如果只是体验不带走的话只要两镑，如果需要成品的话15镑。
