Inspiration from the Great Pottery Throw down

Have you been watching the Great Pottery Throwdown? It’s a good season. There are some very talented potters and (happily) not too many tears.

In one episode, the potters made a 6 piece Roast Dinner Set including a plate, a gravy boat, dish, salt and pepper pots and mustard pot. The forms and decoration were inspired by childhood memories of a favourite Roast Dinner. One potter’s theme was a day at the beach. Another’s was a walk on the Downs. They were great and really stimulated the potters’ creativity.

Call me a copy-cat, but that’s what we’ll be doing in my courses beginning w/c 26 February. It’s a lovely project for both beginners or more experienced potters. Every set will bring back memories and tell a story.
