Great Pottery Throwdown 2024!

[SoupDragon]

It's back! Sunday 19:45... get your handkerchiefs at the ready for Keith!

It's just as well I don't pot because my life experiences would be useless on this programme. No travelling, no woodland walks, no seaside dwellings. Terrible family. I could specialise in dysfunctional makes.

I want to see your dysfunctional makes....

Beavers and a phallic centre.... looks like Cadi might have been to my local woods 🤣

<snigger>.

They'd be spectacular!

I'd be rubbish at the whole "memories" aspect of the design I think.

Donna's snake looked good in that brief glimpse. The scales were a genius idea!

Evening all; I’d just be rubbish at the timed element, for I am the Queen of great ideas that take forever to complete - you should see my sewing pile!

5.5 hours is a ridiculously short amount of time for that scale of make, it's as if they've reverted to not giving them enough time meaning there will be more casualties and therefore make for more entertaining viewing 🙄

I hate it when they run to the Drying Room! And go down those metal stairs outside.

Love Siobhan’s style, always. My Mum has a 70s tablecloth in that jumpsuit material and that isn’t a criticism.

That's so cute!

I always think throwing is like magic.

Oooh good challenge, nowhere to hide!

I love seeing the profiles when they cut things like this.

I think they should systematically cut pieces in half for the throw down challenges.

The licheny mossy one is unpleasantly bumpy!

I hope Princess's is OK because she does beautiful artwork.

Me too. And I've just realised there is a male contestant that I have never noticed before!

I quite like the mossy one because it's so different to the others. I do see how it's a bit odd feeling though.

Cracks that appear in the bisk firing usually get worse in the glaze firing (although these aren't high-fired pieces so they may be ok).

It might be ok when it’s fired and smooth but it’s making my fingers itch and my teeth feel jarred right now.

I think Princess might be going home. Her or Cadi so far for me.

Well, these are making me need a wee.

Don't love Dan's
