Renowned British designer, bestselling author and ‘The Great Pottery Throw Down’ judge, Keith Brymer Jones, shares stories of life in front of and behind the potter’s wheel.

Dancer. Front man in an almost-famous band. Judge on ‘The Great Pottery Throw Down’. How did all that happen? Tales from his fascinating life and career, from designing ceramic ranges for top retailers to throwing in his studio in Whitstable, and everything in between.

He’ll pay tribute to the people, happy coincidences and memorable moments that have made his life what it is – from the art teacher who changed his life to the nearly-famous band he fronted.  Keith will take the audience on a journey through shapes, and share advice and top tips about working with clay. He will also talk about how and why he decided to become a judge on Channel 4’s ‘The Great Pottery Throw Down’.

Hilarious, heartwarming, and thoroughly entertaining, don’t miss this live experience with the man himself, exploring more life, more clay, and, well… more everything!
