These videos were made in 2020 as a desperate COVID-era attempt to help keep students engaged in learning as in-person teaching stopped. With no support, no resources, a ridiculous "production schedule," and no idea they would become a sort of permanent record of the time, I just threw them at KZfaq. The students mostly didn't watch them, but lots of others did, and that continues to amaze me. I decided to leave them up for anyone who is just curious about design.
NOTE: If you are a current student at Rhode Island School of Design and your professor has sent you here to watch these videos, you should really worry about how much tuition you are paying just to have a teacher sending you to KZfaq instead of teaching you themselves. Just saying...

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!

Another excellent video. Josiah Wedgwood really was the cutting edge of pottery.

What always amazes me is that on top of his achievements in management and industry, he remained a master potter.

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!
