Edmund de Waal and Dame Laura Lee
Join Edmund de Waal in conversation with Dame Laura Lee DBE, for a discussion of his most recent project, Mug for Maggie’s, a special edition bone china mug marking 30 years of the cancer charity’s transformational support.
As de Waal says, “This is a deeply personal coming together of things – poetry and pottery – to celebrate Maggie’s, a place where profound conversations and support happen day by day, around the kitchen table over a mug of tea.”
The pair will discuss the origins and process behind the design of this special collaboration, inspired by the kitchen table which is found at the heart of every Maggie’s centre – a place where people with cancer, as well as their family and friends, gather to share experiences over a cup of tea.
