What a creative powerhouse Wedgewood was and maintained being for his life and then into future generations.... all the while, he was constantly innovating the industrial world around him.
I am only watching this as entertainment, in lieu of let's say a Netflix tv series, and find it so enjoyable and informative! It does open my eyes to the history of economic development and indeed explains a lot of aspects of the world we currently live in. For example, your comment on how the modern day debate around gun ownership in America may have links with the role guns played during the dawn of the American system of manufacturing, gave a new angle to how to approach the topic especially as I think we, Europeans, often find it troubling to understand it in the first place. Thank you for your work on this series, Matthew, and let me assure you that your style of storytelling is engaging also for me as viewer not in any way professional in matters of design!
I'll look at your students are to have a teacher like you who can make something so interesting in this new world of distant learning! Congratulations! I taught I taught for 32 years and substituted for 13 and really substituting was harder then teaching! I taught summer school reading and computer camp but that was in the days of beginning technology for computers I know I certainly couldn't teach it now! I also made antique reproduction porcelain dolls one year doing 25 weekend shows besides teaching full time. So this series fascinates me in another way because I work with liquid porcelain clay and my mold some of which cost almost $300 a set! There's a lot of work and a lot of steps just to make one doll and I did make some other porcelain items
I am fascinated also with the facts you gave us about his family. He was the youngest of 12 children imagine if his mother I've been able to quit at 8 or 9... Would we have had Charles Darwin who was his grandson!

What always amazes me is that on top of his achievements in management and industry, he remained a master potter.
Another excellent video. Josiah Wedgwood really was the cutting edge of pottery.
What a man! With so many talents!
I am enjoying this series immensely.🌸
Thank you very much for your work, Matthew! I am learning so much from your lectures.
I have to admit it, I cackled at 5:45- was not expecting that!
