De Morgan Centre, Art collection at Wandsworth Museum, England.
De Morgan Centre is an art collection in London, England, displaying paintings and ceramics created by William De Morgan and Evelyn De Morgan. The works come from the Victorian era and show various artistic techniques and styles from that period.
The collection was founded in 1965 by Wilhelmina Stirling and managed by the De Morgan Foundation. In 2014, operations ended at the original Wandsworth location and the collection moved to a new home.
The collection shows how the Arts and Crafts movement shaped artistic practice through handmade ceramics and paintings with social themes. These works reflect values that remain visible in each displayed object.
Plan your visit on a weekday if possible, as the collection opens during morning and afternoon hours for visitors. It helps to check opening times ahead of time and allow time to explore the paintings and ceramics carefully.
William De Morgan experimented with special glazing techniques that he developed and refined for his ceramics. These innovative methods made his work distinctive and different from other ceramic products of his time.
