The Great British Pottery Throw Down is back!!!

Poor Naveed. I was hoping he was going to get Potter of the Week. He has improved so much and as Rich said, he thought outside the box with his vegetable display in a lovely vase. I usually have a front runner by this stage but they are very evenly matched. It could be any of the remaining 6.

I love this programme, but I feel that like the other “Great British…” craft/cookery programmes, the unpractised challenges are becoming evermore fanciful.

Down to the final 3. Angharad, Elham and Fynn are so closely matched I think it will all hinge on what they produce for their final pieces.
I haven't a craft bone in my body but I love watching this programme. The contestants must learn so much. The judges, Keith and Rich, aren't cruel in their comments and the presenter, Siobhan, is just right. An oasis in a crazy world.

Hard to tell who will win, as previously said it depends on the make and the firing.

It has been a lovely series and I shall be sorry to see the end of it. I won't mention names, just in case. No complaints about the winner. They had been consistently good since the first programme and produced the best theatre for their final build.

Such a lovely non-demanding watch. All final three were brilliant, I wish I could have seen all three stages in real life, there was so much detail.

Even if I had the skill, I'd never have the patience.

I think the standard was particularly high in this series. All three finalists deserved to win.
I did enjoy the task set, it made me wonder what I would have created.

I enjoyed the final, think the right person won, but all the items were lovely.

I wanted another winner, but wont mention names...it was the tiny detail, so exquisite, more than the others, that made me feel that in the final piece.

Elham by any chance? I thought her theatre was packed with detail and colour and expected her to win but the technical challenge let her down. Great potters and all seem such lovely people.

Yes. The detail in that theatre, both of sculpting the shapes, and the decoration was utterly compelling - I found the winner's, in comparison, clunky and clumsy.

Same here. It all looked very grey by comparison to the other 2, particularly Elham's model theatre. Perhaps we can go and help Keith and Rich judge the next series.

I'm a potter but I think the standard and expectations are absurdly high.
Fynn took up pottery only 3 years ago!

I am curious to know what help they get behind the scenes.

I do enjoy the series.

They have a short tutorial on what they will be asked to make on the next programme. There are ways of potting, decorating and using kilns that many of them haven't come across before.
I should think all of them learn a lot to carry forward into their pottery making. Lovely series.

I love all the creative/arty programmes. I miss Grayson Perry’s programme we watched during covid.

Me too. Still great TV ideal for a Sunday and full of joy.
