Pottery Throw down is BACK!

[Poshjock]

Hello all GPTD fans the next series has been announced and will start on 8th January at 7:45. It’s a Sunday night and it’s on Channel 4 as usual.

Festive Pottery Throw Down is on Christmas Day too. James Fleet, Jamie Laing, Jenny Eclair and Sunetra Sarker are the celebrities taking part this year.

The kiln shelf breaking isn't the potters fault.

I hope so. Sh should have gone last week IMO

Oh nooooo, Caitlin!

@Emotionalsupportviper absolutely it should have been her not Christophe.

Are these going to look nicer soon??

Not exactly pretty after they ?!

Losing Christophe broke my heart, @lollipoprainbow

His birds weren't perfect, but they were repairable, Fabiola's parrots ere just awful - out of proportion, garish colours - grim!

I like Siobhan, and I think she's intelligent enough to know who she can surprise like that, and who she can't.

The process looks fun but the end results aren't great.

This is disappointing. I usually love the delicate patterns on the rake pots. These are just sad.

*raku

I'm confused : they put those pretty colours on before and they've gone.

I think you are right.

@Emotionalsupportviper me too 😢 I liked his birds they were subtly beautiful hers were a fat mess ! Not to mention her headless people the week before. He lost a foot on his bird and was sent packing. He had so much more to give.

A "fat mess" is exactly right @lollipoprainbow

They were awful!

Yup, still loving the chickens.

Some are awful!

That heart finial looks like a black pudding!

None of these are attractive at all.

Don’t really like any of these so far

Oooh pretty spirals.

All of them could have looked wonderful if not Raku-ed.

I don't understand who wants black planters.

Oh dear, they're all so ugly!
What a shame they're all black and grey and rather clunky looking.

Thank god, George’s have some colour!
