There’s plenty of reasons to buy a British manufacturer right now. On this week’s episode, artist Susan Rose reveals why she’s just done that – acquiring a pottery in Stoke-on-Trent.

We take a tour to learn about getting the thickness of mugs just right, the art of the kiln-stack, and why the random-shake of a cup in water is not always what it seems.

We also hear about overcoming dyslexia to build a business, and why a little help from your friends is so often invaluable.

Plus, Susan gives thanks for the birds, saves a butterfly, and makes a mug for The Factory Next Door.
