Pottery Throwdown

 

Pottery created by master potter 
 Chrissy H Roberts

Watching Keith Brymer Jones on TV

Judging pottery

It's a bit of a lottery

As to whether or not he might cry?

Thrown down and in slabs, 'lovey'

Assessing pottery

Is a lot of a lottery

 Will Keith weep, get emotional and cry.

Out of the drying room and into the fire

Baked to a bisque 

Or porcelain risked

Will Keith get smoked up, choked up and cry?

Underglaze, over glaze and raku free

There is many a clay slip

Twixt saucer, cup and lip.

So, will Keith say 'Brilliant lovey' and cry?

Who will be 'Potter of the Week'? 

Who will be leaving the pottery tonight?

A ceramic finale, featuring fight or flight

When Keith and the 'Kiln Gods' might cry.
