Hello
I should have known Keith Brymer Jones made it look far too easy to make a bowl from clay. As the judge given to emotional crying on reality programme The Great Pottery Throw Down, he can make them blindfolded – literally. When I first watched the show, I thought, ‘Ooh, how lovely. I could whip up a set of dinner plates’. About four years of lessons later, I do have dinner plates and a lot of wonky bowls (unintentional), but the practice has been a huge learning curve. What I love about it is that whatever else is going on in my life, as soon as I sit down at the wheel, everything is forgotten and all I focus on is making something out of a lump of clay. That’s what…
