I can finally reveal that I’ll be a contestant on the 2026 series of The Great Pottery Throw Down. @potterythrow
Keeping this a secret for so long has been hard! For anyone I told I was “filming something” but couldn’t say what the job was… It wasn’t Hollywood calling, it was way more clay based!
Thank you to my wife, who has encouraged me, gifting me my first class and buying me a wheel, it all somehow escalated into this.
I’m very grateful for the opportunity, to everyone who’s supported my work, and to Rosa @sandgateceramic who taught me so much.
Thank you to all the crew and production, you guys are what gives the program so much heart 🫶🏽
Finally thank you to @siobhni@keithbrymerjones and @richmillerpots for being so gorgeous. 😘
Hope you enjoy the series!

This was my first attempt at naked raku.
I used feathers and horse hair. Chopped up and wrapped in kiln fibre.
Thank you to @james_stead_ceramics at @tudorhallceramics for such a lovely weekend.
Wha do you use for polishing your naked Raku and pit fired pieces?

It’s #throwbackthursday and also exactly a year since we opened Parlour Song at @greenwichtheatre
It was amazing to be in a Jez Butterworth three-hander. Only the second professional outing for Parlour Song, last time Toby Jones played Ned. So playing Alan Bates earlier this year was the second time I’ve played a character Toby Jones has played! 😆
What a cast! Super talented @kelshirl and @jq_edwards were an absolute delight. Wonderful director was @jhaddrell and the beautiful design was by @emilybestow .

Sometimes just what you need is a raku weekend with potter friends old and new.
Thank you for @james_stead_ceramics of @tudorhallceramics for the absolute best raku weekend.
What a joy. Beautiful glazes, pit firings, naked raku and the best conversations.
I’ll add more pics later in the week. And a separate video of my first naked raku experience (not that sort of naked).

I’ve just finished touring, and it’s been a pretty hectic three or four months. There’s been so much going on, I’ve barely had time with the family, and hardly any time at the wheel. But this week’s been a real treat! Just throwing for fun, no deadlines, just playing with shapes and textures.
Of course, now I’ve come down with a stinking cold. The Ukrainian Whisking session was amazing though though I’ve also got to see a couple of mates in shows this week. So, even though I’ve got a cold, it’s been a good reset.
