The popular and emotional Judge on The Great Pottery Throwdown will be discussing his autobiography.
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 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 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.
