230: Australia Week: Keith Brymer Jones on upscaling production and the Great Pottery Throw Down

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Keith Brymer Jones. He started his career with an apprenticeship at Harefield Pottery in London, where he learned high production methods of producing hand made pottery. After learning the business, he started his own pottery selling through major retailers like Barney’s of New York and Heals of London. The Keith Brymer Jones brand has now expanded to include production centers in India and China, which help supply worldwide markets for commercial ceramics. In addition to his studio work Keith is an expert judge on the BBC’s Great Pottery Throw Down. In the interview we talk about his apprenticeship training, expanding his business by selling with major retailers, and starring on the BBC’s Great Pottery Throw Down.
