Bon soir.

Guten Abend! Table lamps.
Only 7 left!

Didn't like the look of any of the lamps shown in the intro 😟

What's wrong with just sticking a light bulb in an old Mateus Rose bottle?

Ooh I like that black one

Caitlin looks exhausted already.

Beautiful isn't it?

Aww man that sucks.

Oh dear. Is she not well? She looked dreadful before that even happened. It should be fun to do this, not make people sick with anxiety

Poor Caitlin, she seems in such a sad place

I never know what I'd do in these challenges. I'd have to make an I hate my family lamp, or a sitting on the sofa watching telly lamp.

Sitting on the sofa chatting on mumsnet…

There are some ambitious designs in this lot

I need an extruder.

Do they all live by the sea?

Nooo.

Oh noo.

Oops!

Some of these look they may be lovely - the Clifton suspension bridge, Lois & Caitlin’s. Not sure about the Giant’s causeway - but too early to tell.

At least there will be some colour this week.
I hope.

In a real pottery would they just use a trolley between bench and drying room?

Nope, still not loving any of these so far.

Nope, would be even worse unless the floor was perfect. Arms work much better as shock absorbers!

Yes!

Sorry, I was just going off videos I'd seen,

Production potters do tend to have rolling shelves. But honestly for something intricate or especially delicate you're much better off carrying it.

Thanks.
