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. To see
