A N Wilson: Pottery Is In My Blood

During the 1950s, A N Wilson's father was managing director of Britain's most famous pottery company, Wedgwood. Two years ago, the company went into receivership and Wilson was so moved by what he saw that he began to write a novel. Today he unveils The Potter's Hand, his epic novelised account of the 18th century master craftsman Josiah Wedgwood and the birth of his empire. Part of Edinburgh International Book Festival
