This month’s guest is the incredible Jazmin Sawyers. She’s a European gold medallist 🥇& 2 x Olympian but also does so many other things! It was a JOY to have her as a guest

We talk about everything from her accidentally becoming a dinosaur mug influencer, some very special mugs from friends, how much family & friends support means in sport to how having multiple interests helped her when her journey to the Paris Olympics ended when she ruptured her achilles in April

It’s not everyday you get to sit down & chat all about tea, coffee and mugs with someone that has inspired you with their mindset & journey 🥹

She’s also a mug enthusiast & collector, so tricky choices were made about which mugs to bring on.

A most wonderful selection of mugs from those wrapped in nostalgic memories, to unexpected collaborations & handmade treasures:

1. 3D Dinosaur mug - Llandudno Pier (North Wales family holidays)
2. Istanbul European Indoor Championships 2023 mug (Gold medal and 7m (!) jump)
3. Handmade mug made by & gifted by Dina Asher-Smith
4. JCB teacup & saucer - gift from Ben Williams

☕️ Assembly coffee
☕️Celestial Seasonings - Bengal Spice tea
☕️Yorkshire tea biscuit brew

This month’s guest is the brilliant @james_stead_ceramics 🎨 James is a ceramics teacher (who taught me at school!), a potter and more recently a finalist on series 6 of @potterythrow 🏺

For more context on some of the things discussed from @potterythrow , you can watch all the series on @channel4 , and James also has some reels on a few of his creations

It was so great to chat all about the pottery world, and to get a completely different perspective into mugs & the intricacies of how they’re made

Every item talked about is quite astonishing in its craft so I’d highly recommend following along with the pictures as you listen for the full experience:

1. Ray Gridley large blue mug

2. @richmillerpots wood-fired orange mug

3. Drip down mug (slip trailing) - pottery circle swap at Potfest
