Mina Birkenstock-skor är ett par äkta klassiker ... När jag arbetar i krukmakeriet är de helt perfekta – praktiska, bekväma och lätta att ta på och av.
Growing up in the North West London suburb of Finchley, Keith’s first love was dancing and his sights were set firmly on a place at the Royal Ballet School. At his regular school, Keith suffered from anxiety, the result of his undiagnosed dyslexia and the consequent bullying that came with it. An epiphany came in the form of a supportive teacher and an unremarkable ball of terracotta clay. Keith looked at the soft clay placed in front of him and discovered to his joy his problems disappeared. “It felt as though I was holding my own imagination in my hands,” he says. The owl figure he moulded from that clay elicited a rare moment of encouragement from his teacher. That praise would stay with him for many years to come and herald the start of a lifelong companionship with clay.
