Pottery Throwdown 2021

[LIZS]

Starts 10th January 7:45pm

I believe so, Threeleaper. Such beautiful hands. I looked him up during the previous series when he was the technician as he seemed to be worth looking at 🥰

Funnily enough I commented to DH what lovely hands not of them have - very long, smooth fingers.

Whether it's genetics, or constant submersion in cleansing, softening clay, or a mixture of both, I wouldn't like to say.

Trust me, pottery does NOT leave you with lovely soft hands!

I think Rich does hand building - tiles mainly - so perhaps not so much contact with clay as someone who sculpts or a wheel potter?

Woodworker Will from the Repair Shop has beautiful hands too.

I bow to your obvious knowledge and experience.

Evening potters

Oh heck, never knew there was a thread for this. Love this programme. It's my Sunday night highlight.

And the wonderful Dolly, what more could I want!

Hi all

Henry is wearing the most makeup of them all 😂

Surely someone is sculpting Lionel Richie.
HELLO?

Sal seems to have the best plan again

I would have done Ozzy - but I would have had a bat in his mouth.

These are already better than the week "Bake Off" had them sculpting pop icons in cake.

I still wake up screaming about the David Bowie one . . .

ooo I’m late to the party tonight, I am however drinking out of a mug made by Henry.

I love Sal!

Not even a stealth boast - shameless bragging!

The balloons are a genius idea. It's a proper faff pulling solid, soggy newspaper wrapped with masking tape out.

Phew!

Lovely helpful Henry - I do love the way they are all so generous towards each other.

This has to be the hardest week ever surely.

Blimey ... it's like pulling their brains out after a frontal lobotomy

@SchadenfreudePersonified

I love Sal!

She is brilliant, I always find pottery throw down show the personalities of contestants very well.

I liked how she "popped" them through the heary-holes!

Technically I'd say it's easier than last weeks (i find throwing big pieces really difficult), but it really depends on how good they are at reproducing people's features.

Bruce Springsteen is looking good
