- Ballet dancer. 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 UA-cam video?
Every chapter of my book is based around an object (usually a pot) that's been significant in my life. It's just at 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.

Reading KBJ's book now. The warmth, determination and skill of this man shines out of every page.
The words flow like the glazes on his pots.
Keith, your passion, vision, and ability to foster ambition in a stranger on the other side of the world is heartwarming. Thank you x I look forward to reading your story.
Boy In A China Shop is a tale of lemons to lemonade! Mix a pinch of luck, heaps of tenacity and grit! The sheer stamina required to throw 300 pots in a day bogles this mud mongers mind! Hail Keith. You are King among jesters and potters and deserve respect, fame and fortune!
Be kind to yourself Jonesy…
🥰
