Anyone else think the wrong potter bit the dust tonight?

Me too. Brilliant series. I love the end bit showing what they are all up to! Lovely to see that Lee moved to Cornwall to be closer to Sue

Worthy winner. Jodie’s party set was fabulous. Interesting she’s back working as a nurse when everyone else seems to be continuing with pottery.
True dedication, hope she gets back in to pottery soon.

I was interested that Lee moved to be close to Sal? Just human curiosity! I was pleased Jody one. I think Adam was a lovely person .but really he should have learnt from Sal and the other chap that sticking to the brief is imperative. His work was great but not colourful enough

And his decanters were crazy!
I am pleased Jodie won. They couldn’t find any fault with her arty set.

I thought the way Adam had his cups hanging was very clever but his bottles really let him down. Jodie was the right winner.

Yes, the right person won. I loved her wolf fountain. Everything so carefully constructed and decorated. A talented artist.
I shall miss this programme, I always do when it finishes.

Jodie was consistent throughout and I thought her a worth winner. Those handbag decanters were inspired. Always calm, I bet she'd brilliant at her day job. I felt Keith was rather unfair to her in the semis saying her dragonfly wash pedestal was playing safe. I was also starting to find his gushing over Peter, nice man that he was, a little embarrassing.

Yes, agree Jodie was a worthy winner. Also liked Adam's way of hanging the cups.
Maybe Keith's gushing over Peter was because he had improved so much during the series, encouraging other people to push themselves harder and set themselves more challenges.

I agree Ilovecheese but I think even Peter was starting to be a little embarrassed by it. I like that KBJ gets emotional about his art and when people do well - the equivalent of the Hollywood handshake on Bake Off. I have really enjoyed this series especially now that Richard is co-presenter. Is it really weird to already be looking forward to the raku challenge in next year's series? Always my favourite week.

I have really enjoyed this series. Keith, so passionate about pottery and Rich are lovely judges and Siobhan has been a breath of fresh air as a presenter who doesn't look like an anorexic stick insect. I was a bit concerned for Adam, deciding to go a little off the brief with the US style of Art Deco using pastel shades. All the potters did well but Jodie was a worthy winner with a beautiful set. I have found these programmes an oasis of calm in a sometimes crazy world.

Yes, Sarnia it is always dangerous to stray from the brief. His punchbowl and cups were lovely though, and the ladle.
