Star of Channel 4's THE GREAT POTTERY THROWDOWN and OUR WELSH CHAPEL DREAM's passionate, accessible, entertaining and very personal exploration of what pottery has given to him and the world.

'Sitting down at the wheel and grasping a ball of clay, I can travel back in time. I'm compelled to slow down to the pace of my ancestors.'

Did you know the potter's wheel was invented before any other kind of wheel? And in the seventeenth century people believed eating clay was good for you? And that Royal Doulton started off as a sewage pipe company? And which famous potter said 'To make pottery is an adventure'?

All this and so much more is in Pottery Throwdown judge Keith Brymer Jones's very personal journey through the history of ceramics. From Roman kilns in North London to urinals in Scotland, wine jars to ink pots, Keith enthrals and entertains us with his knowledge of pottery and potters, what they made and how they did it. He shows us how ceramics have played an important role in cultures and economies 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: creativity, patience, respect for the material, and a respect for nature itself.

You will never look at a mug in the same way again.

Horrible quality
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Red
Horrible quality. The crank didn't work. The umbrella just flopped open. Once it did I cranked it, but it was cranking in wrong direction. Umbrella sat totally lopsided. The overall quality of this umbrella including the canopy is junk. Looks cheap. Returning!!

Peacock Blue
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Lake Blue
Not out yet because of weather, but it looks good, unusual point that some of the spokes according to the directions need to be put on yourself, but at least this way they not bent in box. Note when I bought it - it used the color Lake Blue but the picture was a Peacock Blue - I took the chance and it is a Peacock Blue- I would not call it Lake at all or sky or any of those colors. It worked out for me as it matches perfectly with my Peacock Blue cushions and other umbrellas, It defintiely seems like it is sturdy and the size looks as it should, it has a nice weight as i did open it in house to take a look, the material has a slight sheen which makes it appear a little different than my others, but not something most people would notice.
