Description
Front man in an almost famous band. Judge on The Great Pottery Throw Down. How did all that happen?’By accident mostly.
But I always say we make our own luck. What if an art teacher hadn’t given me a lump of clay? What if my band had properly taken off? What if I hadn’t taken a photograph of a bowl to the buyer at Heals in London? What if she’d hated it? Or hadn’t seen it… Every chapter of my book is based around an object (usually a pot) that’s been significant in my life.
It’s just a trigger to let me go off in a lot of different directions and tell a few stories. A lot of stories. Dyslexia.
The art teacher who changed my life. My Mother. My Father.
A life-changing job interview with a man who lay under his car throughout. *That* video. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, a quick search of ‘Keith Brymer Jones Adele’ should do it.)’The end product? A warming, clever memoir of Keith’s pottery life with some very loud music, some pretty good dancing, and a lot of throwing, fettling and firing.
Oh … and a good dose of anxiety.
