Pottery Throwdown 2021 (thread two)

[LIZS]

New thread!

Sal. Thought she'd be safe after the drink flask.

So would I, Sheldonesque.

As it is, I will just console myself with a pic-a-nic basket, some marmalade sandwiches and a jar of honey . . .

And someone lotion for your pic a nic Baaaaaaasket?

They were all over his face

Ah!

I can see how that might have been a tad awkward Bruffin . . . .

Very happy for Jodie, even though her colours weren't quite to my taste. Adam's looked good but failed on function, and his decanters would be so unstable, they made me nervous.

I'm still pining for a Great British Crochet and/or Knitting) Challenge. It would have to be incredibly gentle, because you'd have to allocate hours to each task, so a lot of it would just be people sitting around There was a programme that went out in I think Norway about a crochet 'marathon' that was exactly this. It was when the Slow TV thing was big. Might still be available somewhere.

I didn't know about The Chop or the tattoos. I'd like to watch that. Why couldn't they just blur out the tattoos? Although I guess if it's public knowledge that a contestant might be a neo-Nazi it's not a great look for the show/channel/production company...

All That Glitters looks good. And does anyone know if there's a Sewing Bee imminent?

Apparently Pottery Throwdown is going across the pond, starting April 1st on HBO!

I bet they ruin it Sunbird

Weepy backstories, shorter time allowances, manufactured confrontations between the competitors . . .

Totally Schadey they’ll lose all the things we love about it

Its the UK one they are showing on HBO

Is it? Oh well that’s ok then, thank you @bruffin.

@bruffin

Phew! That's a relief!

Just seen an advert for sewing bee... ‘coming soon’ 😀

Yay Sewing Bee!

Been lurking, but also yay for Sewing Bee! There's also a new one coming on BBC2 for jewellery makers - 'All That Glitters' 😁
