Dave Myers visits the Wedgwood Institute in Staffordshire. He helps restore the iconic building built in 1865, in honour of famous potter Josiah Wedgwood. Derelict for nearly a decade, it was a centre for educating the local working men, running courses in science, business and the arts. Dave examines the facade, with its intricate terracotta panels that decorate the building. He discovers the magic of Britain's ceramic industry, visiting Middleport Pottery which uses traditional methods. Dave decorates some pottery and finds that it is not as easy it looks.
