Front man in an almost famous band. Judge on The Great Pottery Throwdown . 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 the band had been really successful? 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... What if I hadn't agreed to dress up as Adele to make a crazy YouTube video?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.Sifting through half-forgotten memories, trying to pick out the golden nuggets from the stuff that is definitely dross has been a curious, and at times hilarious, sometimes sad, but definitely enlightening process. So here it is - my pottery life with some very loud music and some pretty good dancing. And a lot of throwing, fettling and firing.Oh ...and a good dose of anxiety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Keith Brymer Jones\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 2023\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":47567017935129,"sku":"X30092","price":3.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47567017967897,"sku":"X30092","price":3.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":47567018000665,"sku":"X30092","price":3.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":47567018033433,"sku":"X30092","price":3.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/products\/62874217.jpg?v=1717697432","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/boy-in-a-china-shop-life-clay-and-everything","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
