FANE PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCES THE UK TOUR OF KEITH BRYMER JONES AND MARJ HOGARTH: US, POTS, AND A WELSH CHAPEL
Beloved The Great Pottery Throw Down judge and ceramic designer Keith Brymer Jones
returns to the stage with a brand-new show.
Join Keith alongside his partner in life and crime, actor and designer Marj Hogarth, as they share stories of clay, craft, and their most
ambitious project yet… bringing a building back to life.
They are at the Lowry on Thursday 28th May at 7.30pm as part of a national tour.
Fresh from filming the third series of Channel 4's Our Welsh Chapel Dream, Keith and Marj
invite you behind the scenes of their creative partnership based on the restoration of Capel
Salem, a Grade II listed 19th-century chapel in North Wales.
Together, they'll reveal the highs, lows, and surprises they've uncovered whilst breathing
new life into historic stone—from navigating Welsh planning regulations to discovering what
resilience really means when the roof leaks and the budget doesn't stretch.
But this isn't just about saving a building. It's about restoring a community hub, creating a space where local
potters can train as apprentices, and weaving Capel Salem back into the fabric of village life.
Watch Keith work his magic at the pottery wheel with live demonstrations. Hear Marj share
her passion for making something beautiful from nothing, and why she's spent decades
quietly championing sustainable craft long before it became fashionable.
This is an evening about more than restoration. It's about what we make, why we make it,
and who we become in the making. Expect laughter, pottery, partnership, and the kind of
warmth that only comes from two people who've learned to create a life together, one
handmade piece at a time.
