The Great Pottery Throwdown 2026

[AlicePottery]

Starting in 15 minutes, anyone else watching?

It’s my favourite too - not that I’ve ever done it, but I love the patterns that are produced.

My experience of pottery is limited to gcse art and this programme but I LOVE raku week

Fynn’s design looks delicate - if he does the thin ruff.

Ooh snails, that's a great idea

Is Whitney fulfilling the brief by not adding any surface detail? Seems a risky strategy.

And his piece is tiny!

I think Whitney is definitely in trouble this week.

I came on here to add the same thoughts.

I have high hopes for the pangolin.

I enjoyed the rhinos - it was interesting to see how some potters were better at creating movement & character. Fynn is really good but it was lovely that Bill won that challenge.

Loving Fynn's again, and the snails so far

Ooooooh the Lynx ❤❤❤

It’s fab.

Émily for PoTW, Whitney to go home

"Oh my God I've got a baby!" . That's exactly our reaction when we brought home our first daughter.

Emily's is so beautiful! I love this programme, I also think it's finally become Siobhan's show - she didn't seem entirely comfortable before this series but she's been really good this year.

I hate snails and slugs but Angharad’s is fantastic! Emily will probably win, though. Colours on the lynx are superb.

Awww, Emily's reaction

Argh I missed what next week was!

Holidays

The theme anyway...and throwing something on a wheel that looked like a candlestick ???

At least the decisions for winner and who leaves seemed pretty clear cut this week.

Holiday souvenirs and a candlestick, I think.

Emily’s is so beautiful-I love it

I thought the face of the lynx looked like a cartoon. The body was great but not the face. I did not think she should be potter of the week
