The porcelain creations of Edmund de Waal are exhibited in museums and galleries around the world.
His 2010 memoir, The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance, was an international award-winning best-seller, and his new book, The White Road: a Pilgrimage of Sorts (Chatto & Windus), tells the story of his obsession with porcelain, and the history of this “white gold”.
The book is a mix of travel and memoir and tells the history of the material - moving from ancient China to Dachau.
He talks to Kim Hill from his London workshop.
