We know Josiah Wedgwood as perhaps the greatest English potter who ever lived, revolutionising the production of ceramics. But he was much more than that as historian Tristram reveals in The Radical Potter. He campaigned for free trade and religious toleration and created the Emancipation Badge that became the symbol of the abolitionist movement. Hear about this artistic genius and hugely influential figure from the V&A director and former Shadow Secretary for Education.
