If you've been watching The Great Pottery Throwdown on Channel 4 then you'll undoubtedly recognise the show's judge Keith Brymer Jones, who is a renowned potter. We're massive fans of the show, so we were thrilled to have the opportunity to chat about the Throwdown and all things clay-related with Keith.

In this episode, Keith talks about why certain pots on the show make him cry, what inspired him to become a potter in the first place and how pottery has helped him to get through some tough times in his life.
