Great pottery throwdown 2025

Anyone watching?

I'm irrationally in love with Steve's chickens

It's engobe, basically slip (liquid clay) with oxides (colours), it goes on before the first firing.

The chickens are brilliant and I love the concept

Steve's looks amazing. I love Natalie and I'd like her to win but not sure if one of the boys will beat her to it

I don't know now.. Steve's is an unattractive colour

I love the chickens!

That was nerve wracking

Not convinced by the wobbly black line around Steve's middle. Seems to emphasise where the join is.

The spinning was amazing though

I’m not keen on the colours of any of them, but Steve's animation is just mind-blowing. Well done to him.

James' looks better than I expected

Still team Jeams!

eekk.. Natalie's cracked amphora

I'm not sure I love any of them, they've all made better things...

Keith didn't cry over Steve's 🤔 he's out then.

Steve’s is brilliant, not keen on the designs for the others and they have cracks. Do you recognise popcorn- I’m not sure?

James might be the winner...

James is the best... Steve's animation was cool but it only works when you're spinning it really fast which you would never do. There were loads of scruffy bits on it.

Natalie's was a bit mad which was a shame

The chickens were fab. Natalie’s looked a bit messy,

I liked the animated one best and it had no cracks unlike the other two -also thought Steve's fireplace last week was the best

I like Steve's the best.

You can't win with a broken handle.

I was least keen on James's but the lack of emotion when they were discussing Nat's means she's out. I loved the shape on Steve's and the animation so very, very much.

They going to give it to James despite the handle, aren’t they?

I cannot call this. What gets you in the heart - I think Natalie

Yes
