Introduction The concept of craft and design is one of the ancient developments in the world. Through this concept, individuals have been in a position to expose their talents and pursue their dreams. Craft and design entail the making of products using hands and skills. Craft incorporates the development of items using textiles, plant fibers, paper, and moldable and rigid materials (Berg 128). Craft is often associated with the traditional techniques of inventing items for personal or commercial use while incorporating both practical and aesthetic aspects. Design refers to coming up with a well-defined convention for the construction of a specific object or even a system. The design is multidimensional because it applies to a variety of activities including making architectural blueprints and engineering drawings. The act of designing employs the functional, social, political, and aesthetic dimensions, and often it incorporates thoughts, research, and modeling when coming up with or processes objects. This paper will discuss the impacts of Josiah Wedgwood in the field of design and craft. A brief history of Josiah Wedgwood Wedgwood was born in the year 1730 in a family of potters, and he was apprenticed to a brother after demonstrating a great talent in the field of pottery. Although the brother declined to form a partnership business, Wedgwood was lucky to work with Thomas Whieldon, who was the best porter in England at that time (Hind 782). Later on, Wedgwood became a professional in the pottery industry and opened a brick house factory to expand the business. Wedgwood became a fundamental driver for the rapidly increasing demand for pottery items in England during the 18 th Century (Thorsteinsson and Olafsson 76). Due to the increasing demand for decorative and courseware, there was an absolute need to manipulate the products to suit the consumer market for pottery items. Wedgwood was a preeminent macro inventor of porcelain through manipulating production and acquisition of pottery thus influencing the business choices of most consumers (Dolan 62). Wedgwood was not highly educated, but curiosity the determination to learn from mentors equipped him with the necessary skills to pursue his dreams in artistry. Wedgwood made splendid innovations in the levels of production, marketing, and transaction of pottery items thus making a considerable impact on the field of design and craft during the 18 th Century. Impacts of Josiah Wedgwood on the field of craft and design The invention of the Queen’s ware Queens’ ware is the first innovation that marked a remarkable impact on the craft and design history of the period 1750-1940. The ware, which was developed from pottery, is cream in color, and it has lead-glazed earthenware. The earthenware is raw clayware, and thus it is slightly more porous and coarser in comparison to stoneware and porcelain (Jordanova 144). The lead glazing incorporated in the Queens’ ware is to decorate thus making the pottery items appear more beautiful and attractive. The works of Wedgwood made remarkable impacts on consumers, which saw Queen Charlotte pronounce the artist as the royal supplier of the dinnerware. Through the frequent supplies, Wedgwood built the second factory equipped with efficient tools and ovens required in th
