#The great pottery throwdown

[tamsinbeybey-she-no-porcupine]

Got another tattoo 6 days ago.

I'm in my "I need cosy and serotonin"-era so I combined the book character that gives me cute agression with an indirect reference to my favourite cosy show and love for ceramics and my favourite beverage.

Meet my Snöfrid aus dem Wiesental /the great pottery throwdown/ Raku /coffee tattoo 💖

Also yes one of the reasons he's looking like that is because as we know from the show Raku fired ceramics aren't food or drink safe due to the low temperature during firing.

Just started another fun craft tv show and while others watch The Great Pottery Throwdown for pottery I'm just here for my man Rich (the pots are lovely too)

[greygilberti]

I think that me binging all 5 seasons of the great pottery throwdown in like 4 days when I had covid in 2022 has somehow attached to my soul cause I've rewatched the entire series once per year since then

[pages-and-potatoes]

I just watched the first episode of The Great Pottery Throwdown and I wanna know... why is it so horny?

[engagemythrusters]

don't get me wrong: the great pottery throwdown is one of my favourite shows ever. HOWEVER it is absolutely a show for non-ceramicists.

Watching the S5 finale of "The Great Pottery Throwdown." Please tell me someone made and sent a pair of nonbinary socks to AJ.

[akileiaa]

I’ve been watching Great pottery throw down s5 recently and AJ became my favourite very quickly!! They are such a good potter and I’m so happy they won! And it’s just lovely that there is a trans contestant and a trans technician in the show and everyone is cool about it.

I love seeing a fellow non-binary person thrive!!💖

(Also the non-binary socks in AJ’s final work are just👌🏻😭)

AJ from Great Pottery Throwdown is a trans icon and Tumblr should be obsessed with them.

[not-rude-ginger]

If you're fed up with the way GBBO has lost a lot of the soft quiet charm with gentle encouragement from judges and hosts, switch to the Great Pottery Throw Down.

The judges are so emotional about the skills the contestants demonstrate, they're so proud of them! 😭

Also Sister Michael is hosting now and she's a delight.

Edit: You learn a lot about how pottery works!

[greekmythcomix]

Catching up on yesterday’s The Great Pottery Throwdown and as the challenge the potters l had to throw a PSYKTER - an Ancient Greek wine-cooler!

It’s likely that snow-cooled water would have been put inside the psykter and it placed inside a krater of wine, to cool it. There’s not a lot that survive - they went out of fashion, not being that practical, apparently - but I love the idea of them bobbing on the liquid surface with decorations like these dolphin riders!

Pottery Throwdown is already a great programme, connecting many of us with pottery, an age-old practice almost ubiquitous with humanity, in a way that most people don’t get to any more, and I’m always reminding my Classics students to watch it to give them a better understanding of the vessels they’re studying!

me: this hobby or piece of media is so comforting to me

also me: *sobbing my eyes out about it nonstop*

[slowlystupendousdelusion]

A ventriloquist on Sewing Bee and now a UK Hula Hoop Champion on Pottery Throwdown???

[square-braxket]

nothing makes me cry more than pottery throwdown

[greygilberti]

OKAY BUT-

Hear me out...great british baking show and great pottery throwdown are based on amateur bakers/potters competing, right? So why was Matt even there? He's a ceramics teacher at a school. He makes a living making pottery.

He did great work, but he's not an amateur 🤷

"Welcome to your very first day here in the pottery."

-from The Great Pottery Throwdown, season 2, episode 1, 03:13.

[jaynedolluk]

Watched all of the most recent series of Great Pottery Throw Down which I love + is one of my all-time comfort TV shows. I think my favourite challenge this season was the novelty teapots.

Also watched the most recent series of Great British Menu. This year, the theme was the Olympics (which they have done before in 2012) which I guess does give the chefs some scope. I wonder what they will do next year - maybe something to tie in with the anniversary of World War 2 ending. I think they could probably also do a good one themed around the National Trust + all the National Trust properties.
