Pottery Throwdown 2021

[LIZS]

Starts 10th January 7:45pm

It's almost setting them up for failure because they're going to be rushing so much.

This... With bells on. I think setting contestants up for failure is a feature of a lot of these programmes: Bake Off, Sewing Bee and Pottery Throw Down etc. Which is a shame in some ways... Yes, makes the shows more dramatic but it also means that sometimes we don't seee what the contestants are really capable of.

God - they are all so inventive and gifted.

I have three of the buggers Wolf - it's non-negotiable.

Oh dear god... I have only one and struggle 😂

@LaChatte

Oh god those mushrooms are going to be so fragile.

I was thinking that . . .

Schaden I remember your morning walk stories on another thread. I've been waiting for a rescue spanna since June last year. Due to covid I am still patiently waiting.

Poor whale!

I would love another - or maybe a terrier (I luffs terriers!), but Mr Schaden, he say "NO!"

The ideas are so inventive - and the potters so interesting. I love this programme.

Some of these are fab

These are amazing

Evening all!
These are amazing!

And they make it look easy - as long as you aren't building on an endangered species

I hope the mushrooms survive.

Ok, so my next project is to make a massive fairy house.

I'm praying none collapse on the way to the drying room . . .

Why does that sound like a contradiction in terms?

The mushroom house is incredible!

Brick making looks quite satisfying

I'm expecting a few to come to pieces in the drying room, there's some very fragile parts to some of the models.

Oh, thank heavens!

I thought it was going to be another toilet. I detest toilet weeks.

Anyone else fantasising about doing all manner of inappropriate things with Rich? He's bloody gorgeous...

That clay reminds me of the bread dough I made this morning

I've got sore shoulders just watching them!

He is Batley.

If he likes older, well-upholstered wimmin, I'm in with a chance.

I always wish they'd give them trolleys instead of making them carry cakes or pottery to the table but I think they want them to drop them for the drama
