Is anyone going to be watching? I absolutely love it despite only ever having one go at throwing a pot at school, forgetting to take my foot off the pedal and watching as the clay shot off the wheel into the adjoining open-plan science area. Looking forward to the new host too as I felt the last one made it a bit like a vehicle for her stand-up comedy routine.

Nick's does actually look proper 60s.

TheSpottedZebra · 06/02/2022 20:48

Ooh lovely the polo things. (Jenny.? )

And nick is off, isn't he?

SwedishEdith · 06/02/2022 20:49

I think Nick is going home

SwedishEdith · 06/02/2022 20:51

@Jellykat

Mary Quant logo rip off i'd say.. SwedishEdith Suspect Orlas had her day i'd say.. she'll be stuffed, as not artistic enough to develop another non Quant theme. Rant over.. Grin
Yes!, to Mary Quant

@JoyOrbison

Is there anyone here on twitter that could ask tje show where Rose's denim long skirt os from, it's beautiful!
I've just looked at Rose's Twitter but no mention of where the clothes come from.
TheSpottedZebra · 06/02/2022 20:53

I might be misremembering but I think they're tailor-made. A) as shes so tall, and B) to get the length right to as to not trip when going down the steps carrying pots.

Piggywaspushed · 06/02/2022 20:54

Yes. all the bowties and matching masks are made for Rose so she knows someone useful...

Jellykat · 06/02/2022 20:55

But i like Nick (Kurt Cobain lookalike and his height, does it for me)

Saucery · 06/02/2022 20:55

Jenny for POTW. Nick to go, although I’d prefer Anna to go.

Second that.

And the surfing! And the threat to take up sewing or baking!

Jellykat · 06/02/2022 21:03

Yes! to the surfing too..
Awwww bye bye Nick Sad

Maireas · 06/02/2022 21:08

I'm really impressed he made the sonic screwdriver!

JoyOrbison · 06/02/2022 21:50

Piggywaspushed thanks for having a nosey Smile

Nydj · 07/02/2022 13:39

Wasn’t impressed by anything this week - and did someone sponsor the show based on how many times they said ‘leopard print slip’?

lollipoprainbow · 07/02/2022 18:40

@Nydj really underwhelming designs this week, wasn't that keen on Jenny's to be honest.

LavenderAskew · 07/02/2022 19:25

Just watched. Yes wasn't too exciting by anything. I do see why Jenny won.

I know it's not a personality contest, but I just do not like Tom.

IntermittentParps · 08/02/2022 09:20

I didn't get Nick's hot rod concept; didn't seem very 60s. He seemed to start brilliantly but then plateau. He seems like a nice guy though and I'll miss him.
Oral Kiely's stuff is money for old rope, IMO. She totally picked AJ's because it looked like hers.
This wasn't my favourite week either. I did think Jenny's nailed the brief and were the most interesting creatively though. Otherwise, the forms were generally messy and the spot challenge colours were too muted and designs too sparse; most of them looked like a child had decorated them.
Anna's were probably my favourite after Jenny's. Her work is full of character.

iklboo · 08/02/2022 11:26

I loved Jenny's pieces, especially the donut one. I'd definitely buy something like that if I saw it in a shop (and it wasn't extortionate).

SchadenfreudePersonified · 09/02/2022 07:54

I loved Jenny's pieces, too.

I really like Jenny - she has the nicest, kindest face and her pottery is lovely.

(Please - no one tell me she goes badger-digging or something)

Wolfcub · 13/02/2022 19:40

Evening all

TheSpottedZebra · 13/02/2022 19:57

Anna's stories are DARK Shock

Jellykat · 13/02/2022 19:58

Evening.. bit late due to DOI

Wolfcub · 13/02/2022 20:04

AJ's looks great again

TokyoSushi · 13/02/2022 20:06

Lots of good ones tonight! Agee Anna has lived quite some life!

Wolfcub · 13/02/2022 20:14

I think Christine may get criticised for lack of glazing
