Keith Brymer Jones talks to Kate Humble

A fascinating journey through the history of ceramics with The Great Pottery Throwdown’s favourite judge. Did you know the potter’s wheel was invented before any other kind of wheel? And in the 17th century people believed eating clay was good for you?

Keith Brymer Jones’s very personal tour leads from Roman kilns in North London to urinals in Scotland, and from wine jars to ink pots. He talks to presenter and craft champion Kate Humble about the crucial role ceramics have played in cultures throughout the world – and how his own life is inextricably linked to an industry that demands the same of its makers today as it did thousands of years ago.
