1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,239
Hello, there. It's Week Seven
here in the pottery

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,879
and we still have seven
potters remaining.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,879
What's going on? It's madness.
SHE LAUGHS

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,919
And this week they will be facing

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,400
a floral cha-challenge as... Oh.

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,399
Oh! Excuse me. Sorry.

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,599
This week, our potters w...

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,520
...w-w...

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,999
Ooh! Are you OK? Oh, yeah.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,719
Thanks. It's just... um...

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,599
...these flowers are affecting
my... my hay fever.

12
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,199
But these flowers are ceramic.

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,440
Mm? Yeah.

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,239
Welcome to
The Great Pottery throw down!

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,400
{\an8}Really? They look real.

16
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,640
{\an8}FLOWER CLINKS
Oh.

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,759
{\an8}Last time...

18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,319
{\an8}Oh! ..the Potters took on a
large-scale throwing challenge...

19
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,639
This is the biggest thing
I've ever thrown.

20
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,879
Feel the fear.

21
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,639
...tackling terracotta tagines...

22
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,719
{\an8}That's a nice loud-hailer.

23
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,799
{\an8}It's good, innit? Yeah.

24
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,399
{\an8}...and attempted to throw a chiminea

25
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,839
SHE GRUNTS

26
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,879
{\an8}...in a fast-paced throw down.

27
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,239
SIOBHAN GASPS
...and in their hardest challenge yet,

28
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,959
Elham's decoration delighted
the judges.

29
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:06,039
Absolutely brilliant.

30
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,319
...and none of the potters
were sent home.

31
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,000
No-one! Oh, yeah. No-one.

32
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,719
This time... Flower power.

33
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,159
...it's petal to the metal...

34
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,639
This is nuts.

35
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,039
...as the potters hand-build
ornamental flower posies...

36
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,319
Oh, God. Snap, snap, snap.

37
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:24,839
...and a special guest...

38
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,439
THEY ALL GASP
Wow!

39
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,359
...brings a decorative spot test.

40
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,080
You really have done your own thing.

41
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,879
Who will blossom into life...?

42
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,399
It just looks absolutely amazing.

43
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,039
...and whose hopes...

44
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,959
Oh. ..will finally wilt?

45
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:42,079
Oh! Oh, no, no, no, no.

And with no-one sent home
last time,

54
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,879
seven potters return for
a floral challenge

55
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,599
that is their toughest test yet.

56
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,639
I'm back.
SHE LAUGHS

57
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,159
I've been really looking forward
to this challenge.

58
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,359
I've never actually
made ceramic flowers before.

59
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,199
It feels lovely, getting
Potter of the Week last week.

60
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,519
I'm just trying to take each week
as it comes.

61
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,799
Anything can happen here.

62
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,279
It's literally just
a roller coaster.

63
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,599
It'd be nice to be
Potter of the Week.

64
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,159
It would be nice. I just want
to impress the judges on

65
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,479
my making ability.

66
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,279
Do I have delicate hands? Maybe.

67
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,999
Considering there's probably
two people going this week,

68
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,799
I feel very, very positive.

69
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,239
I'm good enough to smash a
delicate hand build.

70
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,919
Not literally.

Lovely to have you back,
Emily, as well.

75
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,199
Oh, thanks!

76
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,319
For your Main Make Challenge
this week,

77
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,799
the judges would like you
to hand build

78
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,159
a floral posy and throw a vase
to display it in.

79
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,319
Now, any advice
for our lovely floral potters?

80
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,559
We'd like your posies to consist
of at least four different flowers.

81
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,079
Your flowers need to be realistic
and celebrate

82
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,039
the traditional ceramic posies
that were made

83
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,559
for hundreds of years right here
in Stoke-on-Trent.

84
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,919
However, we're looking
for a modern take.

85
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:31,559
So you could even include some
weird and wonderful blooms.

86
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,039
Keith? Your vase and your flowers
will be fired separately

87
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,079
in the bisque firing

88
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,279
but in the gloss firing,

89
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,039
they'll be fired together to give us
that one piece.

90
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,759
When you're throwing the vase,
consider how it will

91
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,919
hold those stems to give us
that elegant display.

92
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,679
But don't go too extravagant,

93
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,399
because it's the flowers that are
the star of the show.

94
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,519
OK, potters.

95
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,479
You have been given six hours to make
and refine your floral posy

96
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,439
and your time starts... now!

97
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,760
Potters, get potting!

98
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,679
{\an8}Week Seven, ready to go.

99
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,519
{\an8}We've got different elements again.

100
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,439
{\an8}Loads of flower power.

101
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,279
{\an8}Today's challenge may be testing

102
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,559
{\an8}the potters' hand-building skills
at serious volume,

103
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,879
{\an8}but before a single flower
can bloom into life...

104
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,119
{\an8}...they need to hit the wheel.

105
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,319
I'm starting off with throwing
the vase.

106
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,319
Try and not to make it too thick.

107
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,239
But I do need it sturdy enough
to hold the weight.

108
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,559
Got to work quite quick.

109
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,159
It's never easy here, though.

110
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,399
Time creeps away.

111
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,400
KAYLEIGH LAUGHS

112
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,159
Rich, Week Seven.

113
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,639
And we've asked our potters
this week to make flowers.

114
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,799
These ceramic posies might not be
to everyone's taste.

115
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,919
Bit of a dust trap... but, you know.
THEY LAUGH

116
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,999
Yeah. But you can't take away
the skill involved.

117
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,399
We want these flowers to be
kind of realistic.

118
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,879
They're using an earthenware clay

119
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,799
but it's got gum arabic added to it.

120
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,999
It will allow our potters
to fashion really fine,

121
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,239
delicate elements.

122
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,039
And of course, delicate work
means things breaking off.

123
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,119
So they have to really think

124
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,999
about how that clay is going to
react in the kiln.

125
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,639
Perhaps making extras so that
they've got the ability to adapt.

126
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,199
Now these flowers need

127
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,519
to be fairly stable... Yeah.
...and clay is heavy

128
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,999
so the vase size has to fit
this bouquet of flowers.

129
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,959
Ultimately, how they sit within

130
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,999
the vase is dictated by the length
of the stem. Yeah.

131
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,159
But equally, that stability
is all going

132
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,239
to be about their choice of holder

133
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,239
in terms of how they configure
the holes.

134
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,879
And I think it's going to be
make or break, that holder.

135
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,759
Then we come to the decoration.

136
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,639
We want to see detail - this
wonderful observation of the flower.

137
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,599
This is a very artistic challenge,
but also a lot of very precise work.

138
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,879
It'll be interesting to see,
come judging day,

139
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,239
who of our potters is
going to end up

140
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,519
on the compost heap.

141
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,879
And, I guess, who'll be coming up

142
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:46,959
smelling of roses.

143
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,000
Well done, Rich.

144
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,399
Hi, lovey.

145
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,399
Hi... flower twins.
Yay! It's all happening.

146
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,799
I really... Yeah, I know you
really want one.

147
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,319
It's just a question of how it's
going to stick in his hair. Oh, OK.

148
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,359
That's the only thing. All right!

149
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,679
Double-sided sticky tape.

150
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,799
Exactly.

151
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,919
So tell us about your design.

152
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,559
I'm basing my floral posy

153
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,639
on my wedding flowers.

154
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,839
OK. Fabulous.

155
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:11,199
So how are you composing everything?

156
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,999
I kind of want to
build as I go.

157
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,359
Arrange as I build...
Like flower arranging. Yeah, Yeah.

158
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,879
...because I want quite
a tall arrangement.

159
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,959
Is that tall arrangement

160
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,399
the reason for your holder to be
that profile?

161
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,119
Yeah. There's more of a risk
of seeing that.

162
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,839
But I'm going to try and pack
the bottom out with foliage.

163
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:27,839
I mean, there's a lot of
fine pieces here.

164
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,799
Yeah. I'm just going to handle
them very gently.

165
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,599
Reigning Potter of the Week
Elham's posy

166
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,079
will brim with frosty charm

167
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,559
as a tribute to her winter wedding.

168
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,399
Pussy willow stalks will give height,

169
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,359
while red roses provide body,

170
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,559
sitting proud atop
a tall, ribbed vase.

171
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,159
Did you have a theme
for your wedding?

172
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,999
I just wanted it to have that warm,
wintry feel...

173
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,079
What was your dress like?

174
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,839
Just, like, a white dress
with a train.

175
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:55,359
Gorgeous. And then I had a little
white riding hood to leave with.

176
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,039
Oh, lovely. With the sparklers.

177
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,359
And I just want to capture
that sort of magical feeling

178
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,639
that we had on that day.

179
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,119
Tell me, how does it feel being
Potter of the Week?

180
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,759
Have you got your sassy pants on?

181
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,319
No. Just a little bit more
of a sense of...

182
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,399
...ooh.

183
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,079
Whilst Elham is looking to evoke
winter's beauty,

184
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,319
Fynn's aiming to bring a touch
of tropical heat.

185
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,399
I've chosen sort of tropical plants
because I keep quite

186
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,039
a lot of them myself, with my frogs.

187
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,559
Some of the leaves are probably
as decorative,

188
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,279
if not more decorative than some of
the flowers.

189
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,879
I'm dedicating it to Maddie,
my stepdaughter,

190
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,119
as it will be some plants

191
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,279
that she can't forget to water
and neglect.

192
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,599
Nestled among large tropical leaves,

193
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,639
bright yellow bromeliad and pink
and purple hibiscus

194
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,999
will take centre stage
in Finn's arrangement.

195
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,679
And to honour the skill of embroidery

196
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,159
passed down from his mother,

197
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,839
he's adorning his vase with

198
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,439
decorative stitching detail.

199
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,879
How are you going about making
the actual flowers?

200
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,119
I'll cut a few shapes out

201
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,079
and then I've also made these out
of silicone.

202
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,199
OK. Nice! So I've just pressed...

203
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,039
Yeah, lovely. ..some leaves just so
I can get some of the veins...

204
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,599
Have you got an arrangement in mind?

205
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,399
I'll probably end up doing
bigger ones in the middle,

206
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,119
because the bromeliads are going
to be on quite a thick stem.

207
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,319
They may actually help support and
give that extra integrity as well.

208
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,559
OK, great. Sounds interesting,
yeah. Good luck.

209
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,640
Thank you.

210
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,239
It looks like one of those pots
that you put ashes in.

211
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,159
I might get a job in
a funeral place.

212
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,879
I could slab build some gravestones.

213
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,639
Too far. Stop it.

214
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,839
{\an8}With a vase, a flower holder

215
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,399
{\an8}and a mass of hand-built flowers
to construct,

216
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,119
{\an8}the deceptively simple posy

217
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,999
{\an8}demands more individual pieces

218
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,719
{\an8}than any challenge the potters

219
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,239
{\an8}have tackled before...

220
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,039
More function over style, really,

221
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,199
I think, with the vase this week.

222
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,679
{\an8}...meaning pace is paramount on
the wheel.

223
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:36,959
It could be a little bit wider but

224
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,199
I'm happy with the way it is.

225
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,039
And the bigger the vase
the potters throw,

226
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,639
the greater the bouquet

227
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,959
it may be able to hold...

228
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,799
I mean, it's quite a
traditional shape.

229
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,039
...but the more flowers they'll need
to fill it.

230
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,759
The vase is probably
a little bit smaller

231
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,079
than some that I've seen go past,

232
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,679
but I want to make it the same
sort of size as a cabbage.

233
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:54,199
{\an8}Just making the

234
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,079
{\an8}Savoy cabbage leaves

235
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,999
{\an8}to put on the vase.

236
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,639
Naveed's posy will celebrate

237
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,719
the beautiful bounty of

238
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:01,839
his father's allotment

239
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,000
and the flowers that grow
alongside vegetation.

240
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,919
A Savoy cabbage-shaped vase

241
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,759
will hold artichoke, courgette
and chive blossoms.

242
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,359
My dad, he had two allotments.

243
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,359
And it was the '80s and
he was made redundant.

244
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,439
I didn't even know.

245
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,919
And he was just going out every day

246
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,839
at 7:30, 8:00 in the morning,
coming back at 5:00pm.

247
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,039
And I thought he was going to work,

248
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,799
but he needed to do it for his
mental health... Yeah. Wow.

249
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,359
...and also to make veg...
Feed you. ..feed us, as well.

250
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,799
So... It's like The Good Life.
Yeah. And then similarly,

251
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,599
I got the keys for my allotment

252
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,639
and it really helped, got us through
lockdown... Yeah, I bet it did.

253
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,239
It's lovely how gardening is
kind of passed on through

254
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,919
the generations... Yeah.
...and it becomes a really beautiful,

255
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,999
nostalgic kind of thing.
Yeah, absolutely.

256
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,119
This is cavolo nero,

257
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,839
which was my experiment.

258
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,359
For some greenery, I've added...

259
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,799
Wow. Lovely.

260
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,599
They're all quite substantial
objects in their own right.

261
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,599
What will go in between them, then?

262
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,159
I'll just have to do about
400 chives, I think.

263
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,159
Yes. Naveed may be celebrating
the flowers that nourish

264
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,639
but Kayleigh is hoping to capture
blooms of a more medicinal nature.

265
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,319
I've chosen flowers

266
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,079
that are kind of a healing type
of flower.

267
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,439
Like the dandelion.

268
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,879
That's used to make teas for, like,
supporting kidneys.

269
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,599
{\an8}Daffodil as well,

270
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,559
{\an8}which help with Alzheimer's disease.

271
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,079
I just love that you can walk past
and appreciate flowers,

272
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,239
but they're not just beautiful,

273
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,759
they can have other properties
to them.

274
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,359
A gentle remedy brought to life
in flowers,

275
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,919
Kayleigh's posy prescribes

276
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,679
a soothing dose of chamomile,

277
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:26,919
lungwort leaf and

278
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,559
bright yellow daffodil,

279
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,159
all arranged in a short vase

280
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,079
decorated with tiny pills and bottles

281
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,559
of conventional medicine.

282
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:34,999
I've got my dandelion.

283
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,839
So that's used quite a lot
for, like, herbal teas.

284
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,999
Wetting the bed.

285
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,319
Herbal teas, yes. What else?

286
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,359
Foxgloves - used for, like,

287
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,119
heart kind of medicine.

288
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,759
I don't advise picking things
like that.

289
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,239
They're poisonous. Yeah.

290
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,560
Have you eaten any? I just need to
make a quick call to my brother.

291
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,159
May have explained a few things.

292
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,400
But... Oh, OK.

293
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,239
I'm just throwing the holder.

294
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,319
The holder sits in the
mouth of the vase

295
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,639
and helps stabilise the flower
arrangement.

296
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:02,679
I don't want it too thin

297
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:03,839
because I don't want it to crack.

298
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,999
So I've made it so it can go

299
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,319
either curved on the top

300
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,119
or curved underneath

301
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,399
and it'll have holes in it

302
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,519
so that I can put all the flowers

303
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,799
and start the foundation.

304
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,999
{\an8}But before it can be pierced
to perfection...

305
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,359
I'm gonna put these into
the drying room,

306
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,719
keep an eye on them,
because they won't need very long.

307
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,599
...it needs to firm up.

308
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,680
Second one down.

309
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,439
It's finally springtime

310
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,719
for the flowers.

311
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,079
And to help the potters hand build

312
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,999
a profusion of delicate petals,
leaves and stems...

313
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,839
Feels very plasticky.

314
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,039
...they'll be working with

315
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,839
an unusual clay mixture.

316
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,799
This is the earthenware
gum arabic mix.

317
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,959
It's quite sticky

318
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,639
but you can make it quite thin.

319
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,959
It's like playing with chewing gum.

320
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,759
Can't really blow bubbles with it, though.

321
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,679
It's making it super strong.

322
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:51,199
I've seen ones that have
been bisqued

323
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,159
and being dropped from
like this high

324
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,839
onto the floor, and they were OK.

325
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,799
Oh, I can't wait to try that.
Yeah, yeah.

326
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,080
Yeah. Fantastic.
Please, not with mine...

327
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,199
I just want to get as much
as I can get made.

328
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,839
Production mode now.

329
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,519
While most are turning to sprigs

330
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,799
to quickly impart texture in the clay

331
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:09,839
on a bulk scale.

332
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,719
Make sure the outside leaf
is fully patterned...

333
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,759
...so much to do.
NAVEED CHUCKLES

334
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,039
Bill's attempting to fill his vase

335
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,479
with a more personal touch.

336
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,319
I've set myself a bit of a challenge

337
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,039
to make everything without
a sprig mould.

338
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,159
That's the plan

339
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,479
and hopefully the judges can see

340
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,399
that it's all going to be handmade,
all one-offs.

341
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,719
Bill is planning to give permanence

342
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,599
to flowers that usually wilt

343
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,319
too quickly to be displayed.

344
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,679
A squat vase will house
delicate poppies,

345
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:35,399
dandelions and bluebells.

346
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,999
You're the only person here

347
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,079
who hasn't any sprigs.

348
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,359
That makes you cool, I think.

349
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,399
Does it?

350
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,159
Cool or stupid. I'm not quite sure.

351
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,239
Yeah, I like a bit of a challenge.
Are you...? I know!

352
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,719
The gum... Yeah. ..takes the water
out of the clay

353
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,999
so then it dries even quicker.

354
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,759
Oh, my God. You really do have
to work quick.

355
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,240
Yeah. Why am I talking to you?
Get back to work.

356
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,119
Potters! Halfway through.

357
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,559
You're halfway through, potters.

358
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:03,759
Hey, Siobhan. Hey.

359
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,080
All right?

360
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,159
Your dress is lovely.
Thank you very much.

361
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,279
So are you. Thank you.

362
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,479
Do we get an extra hour?

363
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,520
No. OK.

364
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,119
The judges are demanding bouquets

365
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,039
bursting with botanical realism.

366
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,919
My daisies look terrible, but...

367
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,199
...it is what it is.
We're going with it.

368
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,839
And as flowers are such
familiar forms...

369
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,719
So this is my dandelion.

370
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,759
...any inaccurate sculpting
could leave

371
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,199
a potter's hopes wilting on the spot.

372
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,959
A little bit cartoonish,
but I think they work.

373
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,399
After these are done,
I've got to do daisies,

374
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,959
which are even more complicated.

375
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,239
{\an8}Foxgloves are so pretty,

376
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,759
{\an8}and they're so magical
when they pop up.

377
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,799
Out in the real world,
I'm an ecologist

378
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,039
and I spend a lot of time looking
at plants.

379
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,759
When it comes to accuracy,
Emily has a head start.

380
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,879
Ceramic flowers that I've seen
before and they're, like,

381
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,159
not very scientifically accurate

382
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,959
and it rubs me up the wrong way,
I think.

383
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,879
Emily's aiming for
maximum authenticity

384
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,359
with her showcase of the meadow

385
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,839
wildflowers she's reintroduced

386
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:05,919
to her garden

387
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,119
in the Scottish Highlands.

388
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,919
And as a guide, she's referencing

389
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,839
a book from her family's archive.

390
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,399
My husband's granny was the first
one to live where we now live

391
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,559
and she wrote a book called
A Garden In The Hills,

392
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,479
all about what they were doing
in the garden. This is about...

393
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,879
What an amazing thing, to have
that archive.

394
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,519
Yes. How are you going about making
all these flowers?

395
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,879
Foxglove is my main thing.

396
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,119
I'm making, like, the stem... OK.

397
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,239
...and then the main bells, I'm doing
separately on their own

398
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,159
with little hooks on them...
You're attaching them? Right.

399
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,399
Ah. ..so they sit into little
hoops on the main stem.

400
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,519
Fantastic. I mean, it looks like
quite a tall posy.

401
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,799
You've got quite a lot of work to do
in the flowers.

402
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,959
Yeah. Brilliant.
Hope it all works out for you.

403
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,959
Thank you! Cheers.

404
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,919
{\an8}And Emily isn't the only potter

405
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,959
{\an8}who's taking inspiration
from past generations.

406
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,159
So the name of it is

407
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,119
The Gate At The End Of The Lane.

408
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,959
And it's based on the flowers
that my gran had in her garden.

409
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,159
And it's for my sister,

410
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,199
cos my gran used to always
take photographs

411
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,159
of my sister in front of her
flowers.

412
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,079
Angharad's posy takes a journey

413
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,279
from her childhood home

414
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,919
to the nearby beach.

415
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,159
Composed of the garden
and hedgerow flowers

416
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,759
she would gather along the way,

417
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,199
her vase will be adorned

418
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,559
with a hand-painted cow,

419
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,679
a familiar sight in the local fields.

420
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,119
We lived on a farm, which...

421
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,759
Our fields overlooked the sea...
Uh-huh?

422
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,479
...and so we could
walk through our neighbours' garden

423
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,799
to get down to the beach.

424
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,799
And he had fields full
of buttercups. Oh!

425
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,319
So it's kind of... It's all based...
Did you do the thing with buttercup,

426
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,319
if you like butter? You have to!
Because otherwise you don't

427
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,399
know if you like butter.

428
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,319
Well, exactly.
And I can never trust somebody...

429
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,560
Show me the buttercup. Exactly.

430
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,799
{\an8}I've not gotten as far with this
as I would have

431
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,239
hoped to by this point.

432
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,479
I guess I'm a perfectionist with
the things I really care about,

433
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,319
and scientifically accurate flowers
is something I do care about.

434
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,759
Potters, that's one hour left.

435
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,920
One hour left.

436
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Oh, hi, Siobhan.

437
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,519
One hour.

438
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,959
With the thrown
elements sufficiently dry...

439
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,159
We're all good. ..the potters must
pause piling up petals

440
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,879
to map out their bouquet on
the holder.

441
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,999
So I'm just making sure the holes
are big around the outside,

442
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,439
and then I'll go smaller
in the centre.

443
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,519
The position of the holes
will impact how

444
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,559
the flower stems can be arranged
in the vase.

445
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,279
Holy Moley! This is quite crucial, actually.

446
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,599
This has to be in the right way,

447
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,559
or it will be a balancing
act with no safety net.

448
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,159
And any mistakes they make
at this point will be

449
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,639
locked in place
when the holder hits the kiln.

450
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,159
Just kind of make as many
as I can without knackering up

451
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,479
the structural integrity of this.

452
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,920
Might make these a little
bit bigger, and we're good.

453
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,399
I think the enormity
of this challenge

454
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,719
is slowly dawning on many
of our potters.

455
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,239
I guess they're getting more of
an idea

456
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,199
of what they need to fill their
vases. Yeah.

457
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,839
And to make that lovely statement
piece that we're looking for.

458
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,719
I think Emily has got some quite
nice, delicate work. Right.

459
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,319
I just hope that there's enough.

460
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,359
It doesn't seem
like a large quantity at the moment.

461
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,079
I mean, I'm not going to have a huge
number of anything,

462
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,919
but I'm just going to shove loads
of foxglove leaves.

463
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,439
Shove loads of foxglove leaves.

464
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,919
Whereas Kayleigh, her flowers,

465
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,439
they look fairly robust,

466
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,879
so you'd be able to sit them on top
of each other.

467
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,239
Yeah. I went past Naveed's,

468
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,559
and some of his cabbages are
looking...

469
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,279
...staggeringly beautiful. Yeah.

470
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,159
I'm just concerned
he's got a lot of big elements.

471
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,439
I don't know what he's going to use

472
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,799
to kind of fill
that whole posey out. Yeah, yeah.

473
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,479
I started doing the bluebells.

474
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,719
Bill's getting on OK,

475
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,119
but the flowers,
they were quite small and delicate.

476
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:33,959
This is going to take me a while.
Really is a numbers game now.

477
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,240
They want a lot of volume.

478
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,479
Potters, you're nearly there.

479
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,799
Half an hour left.

480
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,999
Keep making those leaves,
those blossoms,

481
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,679
those flowers, those cabbages.

482
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,639
How is there only half an hour left?

483
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,039
I've got more holes in that than
I have actual things to put in it!

484
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,479
With the finish
line fast approaching...

485
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,559
Time is just ticking
and flying away.

486
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,039
...it's crucial the potters keep
their momentum in full bloom.

487
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,999
Back in the day, there would be
a whole production line.

488
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,439
With such fragile pieces,

489
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,399
the bisque firing could prune their
efforts without warning...

490
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,799
They'd have to make
so many per minute.

491
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,679
It's incredible how they did it.

492
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,319
...so they're going to need
all the flowers they can get.

493
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,039
Any amount I think I could make
in this time,

494
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,839
it would be really nice to be able
to double it.

495
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,439
I hope I don't get any snapped stems

496
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,079
because I think they're
a little bit on the skinny side.

497
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,359
Buttercups now.

498
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:29,479
Oh!

499
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,280
Potters, five minutes left.
One final push.

500
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,559
Right, this is going to be my last
one.

501
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,359
I hope the flowers
are realistic enough.

502
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:40,639
Don't bend!

503
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,159
Potters, everything needs to be
in the drying room.

504
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,320
Lovely. Gorgeous stuff.

505
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,120
Ooh! Hello!

506
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:52,279
Behold the cabbage!

507
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,840
Oh, God! I've got to transfer so
much.

508
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,279
One minute left,
potters, final minute.

509
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,360
I've got one more!

510
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:05,760
This is too stressful.
Elham, do you want a hand?

511
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,559
Now, just the amount of stuff
they've made.

512
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,399
Guys, well done.

513
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,400
Coming in.

514
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,879
Five, four, three, two...

515
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,919
...one!
Well done, well done, well done!

516
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,040
Wow. Yay!

517
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Oh... Wow.

518
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,999
Well done, everybody.
Well done, everyone.

519
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,519
Oh!

520
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,039
That was intense, but fun.
Cavolo nero went well.

521
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,399
I don't know if I've got enough,,
but I think that's probably

522
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,279
something
that most people are worried about.

523
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,919
I hope I've gone
for quality rather than quantity.

524
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,559
Little bit scarce on the flowers.

525
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,199
The bisque firing, I can
deal with small cracks,

526
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,039
but big cracks is a bit of an issue.

527
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,399
But as long as I've got at least 90%
of them, it's a win-win.

528
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,919
Yeah, that was fun.

529
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,639
I'm looking forward
for the bisque being over

530
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,159
and becoming a florist
and putting it

531
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,760
all together to make a beautiful
posy, yeah.

532
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,519
♪ I'll keep working my way back
to you, babe... ♪

533
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,159
Ooh! No wheels.

534
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,559
The potters are back to face
their second challenge...

535
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,319
Oh.

536
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,999
I'm so intrigued.

537
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,319
...which, as ever,
is yet to be revealed.

538
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,399
Welcome back, potters,
to your second challenge.

539
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,999
And this week we have a very
special judge joining us.

540
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,639
Please give a warm pottery welcome
to Jo Taylor.

541
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,759
Hey. Oh!

542
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,639
Hello. Hello.
Hello.

543
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,920
It is so wonderful to have you here.
Thank you very much.

544
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,479
Jo Taylor is an award-winning
ceramic artist

545
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,919
who specialises in hand-building,
thrown and sprigging techniques

546
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,759
to create expressive
sculptural vessels.

547
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,159
Her swift mark-making
methods shape natural forms

548
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,719
that bring a sense of flow
and movement to each piece.

549
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,919
Ooh! Wow! Gorgeous.

550
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,039
The challenge this week
is to embellish a pot.

551
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,119
Wow. The first piece I'm going
to make is a leaf form.

552
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,799
I'm pushing the clay
onto this former here.

553
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,479
Really push that down.

554
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,479
And then, using your fingers
with the water, make a pattern.

555
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,999
Isn't it amazing? It's so cool.

556
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,559
And I'm tidying up any kind of
messy bits with the brush,

557
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,839
just so that I've got it
as neat as I can do.

558
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,999
Once I've done that,
go round it with a knife.

559
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,399
And then I'm just going to leave it
to dry a little bit

560
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,959
while I make some more.

561
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,359
Is it always important to cut it
with a knife first

562
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:44,599
before leaving it? Yeah.
I've learned the hard way.

563
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,119
Haven't we all, lovie?
Yeah!

564
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,359
I like getting a big piece
and then adding a small piece,

565
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:53,119
and you can start to build up.
Oh.

566
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:55,199
It's playing, really, isn't it?

567
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,439
When it's had a couple
of minutes to dry,

568
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,359
it will pop off really easily.

569
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:01,959
Just like that.

570
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,559
And when you come
to join things on,

571
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,000
slip and score, as you would join
a handle to a mug.

572
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,079
And then get it really nice
and smooth all around the edges.

573
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,519
What I'm looking for in this task
is originality,

574
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,919
expressiveness and, finally,
neatness and a good level of finish.

575
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,799
So I will be looking at the edges,

576
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,399
because you don't want it to be
too thin or too sharp.

577
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,159
And are you looking
for the whole pot to be covered?

578
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,799
It's entirely up to you
how you use the technique

579
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,519
and apply your own creativity.

580
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,039
Thank you very, very much.

581
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,999
Right, back to your benches, potters.

582
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,079
This is going to be judged blind,
so you know what that means.

583
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,919
Get out of here.

584
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,039
Good luck, everyone.

585
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,799
We look forward to seeing
what you come up with.

586
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,679
Cheers. Bye.

587
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,359
Potters, you have been given an hour
to embellish your pots.

588
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:54,799
Ooh!

589
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,999
You're welcome.
Thank you. Thank you.

590
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,199
And your time starts now.

591
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,839
Remove the Hessian!

592
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,480
Embellish! Embellish!

593
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,559
Oh. I'm so excited for this one.

594
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,679
I do like joining things together
in sprig form,

595
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,639
so this is a really lovely
and unique way of doing it.

596
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,079
I don't know how I'm going to get on
with this one.

597
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,279
It's very much
out of my comfort zone.

598
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,479
I've never done this before,

599
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,359
so it's completely uncharted
territory.

600
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:21,919
Just make something

601
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,799
that doesn't look terrible,
is the vibe I'm going for.

602
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,279
I'm just going to do
like a load of leaves, I think.

603
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,439
This is the design
that I want to do.

604
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,919
Make the pieces follow
that sort of trail around.

605
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,719
I've got a rough design that I want.

606
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,199
Share it. I won't tell anyone.

607
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,999
It's faded away now.
I made it here.

608
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,239
In water?
Yep. Yeah.

609
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,760
Your cunning plans
that have... dried into the table.

610
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,119
I'm building up some filigree
designs with, like, oak leaves.

611
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:52,279
William Morris sort of thing.

612
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,399
I don't know how she did it
so beautifully.

613
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,639
That's quite nice, actually.

614
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,039
I've got the fleur-de-lis
in my head.

615
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,559
So, you know,
they've got these round, spiky bits.

616
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,599
I'm sorry, France, if you see this.

617
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,679
I have no plan.
No plan - great.

618
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,559
And... I like you with no plan.
SHE CHUCKLES

619
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,399
You're cheeky, but I like it.

620
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,879
It needs to be original.
So just being brave to make marks.

621
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,479
I definitely think
I'm expressing myself.

622
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,639
Expressing myself
in a very panicked way,

623
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,079
but I'm doing it.
HE LAUGHS

624
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,319
Eugh, this is really hard.
Is it?

625
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,479
What's hard about it?

626
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,399
Just making it look like...
Just not that.

627
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,679
That looks brilliant.
Thank you, Siobhan.

628
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,079
Can you judge it?
SHE LAUGHS

629
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,839
Oh, I'm judging all the time.

630
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,640
THEY LAUGH

631
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,279
I want to create this kind
of organic, gentle movement,

632
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,999
but I won't really know
until I start putting it together.

633
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,519
Potters, you're halfway through.

634
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,879
Whoa! Halfway?

635
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,359
Whoa!

636
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:47,199
THEY LAUGH

637
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,199
That is a joke, isn't it?

638
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,439
Jeez, Louise!

639
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,319
Getting a better idea of how to make
some slightly more flowy forms.

640
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,519
They were all a bit stilted
at the beginning.

641
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,799
I'm going to make another two leaves
and I'll start assembling it.

642
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,199
I'm going to start applying.

643
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,759
She was looking for originality, expressiveness.

644
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,359
Can't imagine she'll like it
if it's plain.

645
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:08,639
Getting that first piece down,

646
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,360
it sets up how the rest will flow
around the pot.

647
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,639
I'm not aiming to cover it all.

648
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,679
I'm just sort of building up layers
as I go along, I think.

649
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,119
Yeehaw! Don't look too closely.

650
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:22,479
It's a bit messy.

651
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,200
Do you remember that footage of
when they drew an ear on a mouse?

652
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,479
Potters, you have 15 minutes left.

653
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,079
I'm going to start sticking on.
SHE LAUGHS

654
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,399
I decided to break out
from the pot edge a little bit.

655
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,999
It's depicting a little walk
along the coast.

656
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,279
Quite poetic, isn't it?
HE LAUGHS

657
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,439
Ah!

658
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,319
Did you cut a hole in it?
Yeah. Am I allowed?

659
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,799
Yeah, you can do whatever you want.

660
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,679
It looks like a tropical fruit.
Yeah! Something, doesn't it?

661
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,919
A fruit salad.

662
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,519
You really have done your own thing.

663
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,919
SHE LAUGHS

664
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,039
HE LAUGHS

665
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,359
I'm hoping
that when they go together,

666
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:03,879
it's going to give more flow
and flourish.

667
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,679
Oh, aren't you a clever lady?

668
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,239
Don't know. Am I?

669
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,439
The brush is just smoothing out
those lines.

670
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,919
She said she wants it to be tidy.

671
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,999
It's amazing how she can achieve
such a smooth look.

672
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,959
I don't know whether mine
will be anything like it.

673
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,320
Finish is important.
It's not good, though.

674
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,600
Five minutes left.

675
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,559
SHE GASPS
No!

676
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,919
Oh, my goodness.

677
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,919
I've gone round the edges.
Blend is your friend.

678
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,639
This is so satisfying. I could spend
all afternoon doing this.

679
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,999
Final minute.

680
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,239
Argh!

681
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,079
She wanted originality, and she's
definitely got that out of me.

682
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,199
These last bits are
far from perfect,

683
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,839
but hopefully they'll be enough.

684
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,679
So I'm not going to give neat edges,

685
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,319
but that's just the way
it's going to be.

686
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,679
It's just been really, really hard.

687
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,999
Oh... This has been a disaster.

688
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,039
HE LAUGHS

689
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,519
I just want to carry on.
I don't want to blooming stop.

690
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:00,599
Hah!

691
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,119
Ten, nine, eight,

692
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:06,479
seven, six, five, four,

693
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,959
three, two, one.

694
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,359
That's it, potters.
Step away from your benches.

695
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:16,119
Well done. All right, bring your
embellished vessels

696
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:18,359
up to your ware boards.

697
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:22,039
Jo will now judge
the potters' decorative plant pots.

698
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,320
Everyone's is so neat.
Mine's really rough.

699
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,039
Fantastic.
This is not going to be easy.

700
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,479
SHE LAUGHS

701
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,519
She's looking for originality,
expressiveness,

702
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,759
and quality of finish,
with smooth edges.

703
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,319
This is really imaginative,
going right over the rim

704
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,919
and cutting holes and going through.

705
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,879
The only thing I'm slightly
concerned about is the sharpness

706
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,679
if something was fired.

707
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,959
And the definition's
not quite there.

708
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,919
Next one... There's a really

709
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,479
nice composition coming
through there.

710
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,519
Some of the edges are very thin.

711
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,239
And when that's fired,
that would be pretty sharp. Right.

712
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,319
Is that something that
you're really conscious of

713
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,799
when you're making your pots?

714
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,679
Yes, because you don't want to
injure people with your work.

715
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:09,759
OK.

716
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,359
Here's another one that's gone
through and in and out.

717
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:14,319
And these marks
are really interesting.

718
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,399
They're like bunches of grapes.

719
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,559
Again,
we've got sharp bits.

720
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,079
Let's have a look at this one.

721
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,279
That's very nicely finished off.
Oh, yeah.

722
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,599
It's nice and smooth.
Not a sharp edge in sight. No.

723
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,119
There's a very nice
flow to this one. Yeah.

724
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:31,079
It kind of seems to all be emerging
and kind of swooping round.

725
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,799
The only thing we don't have
is full coverage.

726
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,999
Next one.

727
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,519
This is quite original
but isn't completely blended.

728
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,719
It could have just done with
a little bit more finishing off,

729
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,639
couldn't it? Yeah.

730
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,239
This one.

731
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,519
I really like this motif
and leaf here.

732
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,799
A mo-leaf.
SHE LAUGHS

733
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,319
There's a really
nice composition there -

734
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,519
how everything springs
from one source.

735
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,359
Last but not least...
Oh, that's really expressive,

736
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,079
how the decoration
starts from right inside

737
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,759
the pot and then comes all
the way around.

738
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,639
Some of the marks there, it needs to
be a little bit crisper,

739
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,279
but I like the way
it comes out at you.

740
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,679
They've done a fantastic job.
They really have.

741
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,959
Now Jo will rank the potters
from worst to first.

742
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,559
So, in seventh place...
Ah, Naveed.

743
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,999
Unfortunately,
the definition of some of the marks

744
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,199
and the sharpness
would give me a concern

745
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,159
putting it through the kiln.

746
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,400
In sixth place...

747
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,239
Oh, Emily. I really liked what
you'd done with the composition.

748
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,879
Just sometimes the definition
and the thinness

749
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,639
and the sharp bits worried me.

750
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,119
Bill is fifth, Elham fourth,

751
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,520
and Finn takes third.

752
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,959
In second place...
Ah, Angharad.

753
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,479
Well done. It was the composition
that really stood out with this one,

754
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,039
and how you combine the leaves with
the flourishes

755
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,839
to kind of spring forwards.

756
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,679
Oh, thank you.
Well done.

757
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,239
And in first place...

758
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,479
Kayleigh!

759
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,799
SHE CHUCKLES

760
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,159
It's just beautifully finished.
So defined.

761
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,119
And the way that composition flows,
it's really lovely and clear.

762
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,560
Thank you so much.
Well done, Kayleigh.

763
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,999
That was tough. Everybody's done
a really amazing job.

764
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,919
Thank you, Jo, so much.

765
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,239
A great honour to have you here.
My pleasure. Thank you.

766
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,199
And well done, everybody else.

767
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,599
Potters, dismissed.

768
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,239
Oh, my God! Number one!

769
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,679
SHE SQUEALS
How did that happen?

770
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,159
Hey!

771
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,879
It feels so good to be top
of the class for a spot challenge.

772
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,839
It was worth the wait.

773
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,399
Oh... Oh.

774
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,039
Someone has to come bottom.

775
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,839
I am concerned, obviously,
about my flower arrangement

776
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,599
and, you know,
it could all go wrong.

777
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:44,759
I did my best.

778
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,919
I'm not sure if my main make is
going to have enough of an impact,

779
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,240
but we'll see.

781
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,439

after the bisque firing,

782
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,639
Princess is laying out
all the parts of the posies,

783
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,959
ready for decoration and assembly.

785
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,839

what survived the heat of the kiln

786
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,399
until they lift the hessian.

787
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,839
I didn't sleep that well.

788
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,639
I was worried that my cabbage leaves
were going to fall off.

789
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,759
I know roughly what I'm doing.
It'll just depend on what survived

790
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,999
and how all the stalks are on them
and the stems.

791
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,079
I'm also sort of concerned about
the dome shape that holds it all up.

792
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,759
If that's in two bits or three bits,

793
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,199
it's going to be a bit of an issue
to put back together.

794
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,999
I really hope this comes
together nicely

795
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,559
cos I really don't like it
when they look wrong.

796
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,999

Welcome back, potters.

800
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,159
Now, your flowers
and vases have been bisque-fired

801
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,599
and are lying under the hessian,
waiting to be decorated.

802
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,079
Judges, any advice?

803
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,839
As well as decorating your flowers,

804
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,999
this is where you'll be
assembling your posies,

805
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,519
so make sure you take time
to step back

806
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,399
and assess the overall composition
of your arrangement.

807
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,359
Keith? As you know,
your individual pieces

808
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,319
will be fired together
in the gloss firing.

809
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,359
Take care when you're glazing.

810
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,439
Too little glaze
and they won't fuse together.

811
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,399
Too much glaze and you'll lose
that colour and definition.

812
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,999
All right, then, potters,
you have three-and-a-half hours,

813
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,480
and your time starts now.
Remove the hessian!

814
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,159
Oh!

815
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,319
Ho-ho! That's good.
SHE LAUGHS

816
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,959
Oh, no.

817
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,879
It all seems to have held up OK.

818
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,599
It looks like a graveyard.

819
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,999
Everything's here.

820
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,519
There's no cracks.
It literally is a miracle.

821
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,039
But not everyone has been
quite so lucky.

822
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,679
I have got a broken one.

823
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,519
This was the one I've made
last-minute,

824
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,279
so I just don't think
I smooshed it together.

825
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,679
And while most have
only suffered minor breakages...

826
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,919
Oh, no.

827
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,999
What?
It's just my stem.

828
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,919
Oh, it could be worse.

829
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,519
Oh! I just broke it.

830
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,159
Emily's fine handiwork
has seen significant losses.

831
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,839
I've got loads of breakages,
and my moonwort is in every piece

832
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,879
it almost could be. Oh, no!

833
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,799
One of my flowers fell off,
and then when I picked it up, broke.

834
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,679
Have you got enough to make a posy?
A display?

835
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,839
I hope so. I mean, I'm gonna have
to use absolutely everything. Right.

836
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,919
So you've not made many spares
kind of along the way?

837
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,999
I just didn't have time
with this level of detail.

838
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,999
Well, I mean, they are beautifully,
beautifully detailed.

839
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,439
I wish you the best of luck with
the decoration. Thank you.

840
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,239
Very, very steady hands!

841
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,639
Oh, my God, so many things to paint.

842
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,519
These are all my cups and I've got
all the colours

843
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,679
written on them that I need to make.

844
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,639
To bring their posies to life...

845
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,199
There's three different
colours on this paeony.

846
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,239
...the potters have been given a full
palette of underglazes and oxides.

847
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,799
So I've done a real light pink
as a base.

848
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,119
There's lots of tonal colours
in bluebells, so with this I am

849
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,639
layering three, four layers
of different blues.

850
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,039
But while some are attempting

851
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,119
to create realistic depth
with layers of underglaze...

852
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,159
This one's a really dark green.
...Emily is taking the time

853
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,359
to define her wild flowers with
a base coat of oxide.

854
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,039
I mean, it's not exactly leaf-like
to have black lines on it,

855
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,839
but it does highlight the texture.

856
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,279
And while most are kicking off
with their flowers...

857
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,559
It's the painting of a cow.

858
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,399
...Angharad and Naveed are working
their way up from the bottom.

859
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,439
So I was brought up on a dairy farm.

860
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,159
So technically,
this is our front garden.

861
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,160
Ta-da!

862
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,599
Oh, that's come out very lovely.

863
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,719
It's good, isn't it?
I'm quite surprised.

864
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:26,319
Show me the picture of yourself
and your dad. That's my dad.

865
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,319
Oh! That's me with the three-pronged
monster carrot.

866
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,279
It's good, isn't it?
Er, who's looking at the carrot

867
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,120
when you knew how to pull a pose?

868
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,480
Do it again. One, two, three...

869
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:42,919
Emily? Yeah?

870
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,039
Do you know them berries
called hypo... hyper...?

871
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,239
Hypericum. OK, I knew that.
Thanks.

872
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:51,839
So these are Hypericum.

873
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,239
They just bring that real light,
wintry feel.

874
00:34:55,240 --> 00:34:57,359
Everything's very tropical,
so it's very bright.

875
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,719
Everything needs to have at least
two coats of underglaze on.

876
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,399
I'm going like lightning now.

877
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,279
I don't want it
to be kind of flat with the colour.

878
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,239
I like things to feel alive.

879
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:09,719
Dry brush.
Dry brush. Dry brush. Dry brush.

880
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,679
It's so important
to get colours right.

881
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,399
Poppies, I'm going kind of like
bright red-orangey,

882
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,520
but I'm trying to do
different tonal.

883
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,879
Potters, guess what? Oh, no. No!
Yes! You're halfway through.

884
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,239
Halfway through! Oh, no!

885
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:30,959
Really, really need to get a
very fast move on now.

886
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,799
Rapidly slapping on the underglaze
for my remaining leaves

887
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,439
cos I haven't even started putting
the colour on my flowers yet.

888
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,359
Flower?

889
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,319
They're beautiful.
You've got quite a lot there.

890
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,599
I'm just gonna try
and glaze the majority.

891
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,519
And you've done your
decoration on the...

892
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,759
So that's my little nod to the kind
of medicinal properties.

893
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:50,879
That's marvellous. Yeah.

894
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,239
Oh, my God, there's so much to do!

895
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:55,479
Just doing, like, the little
dibby bits.

896
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,919
I don't know what they're called.
The pollinators.

897
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,719
Hello. Huh-huh!
What's happening?

898
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:01,639
I just need
to get everything painted.

899
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,479
Yeah? It's fine.
That's a toothbrush.

900
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,799
That is a toothbrush.
What are you doing?!

901
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,079
SHE LAUGHS

902
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,679
I've got to make sure
that literally every speck

903
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,799
of this leaf is covered, because the
last thing I want

904
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,119
is a big, glaring white part
of clay sticking out.

905
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,079
It's difficult to keep the quality
when you're working

906
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,599
in volume and at speed.

907
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,719
But it's not just quality the
potters need to keep an eye on...

908
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:27,679
Oh!

909
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,840
Just broke one.

910
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,319
...because even a heavy brushstroke

911
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,119
might be just enough to snap
their fragile flowers.

912
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,160
Oh, no.

913
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,519
Clumsy.

914
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,639
Yep! I just broke something else.

915
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,359
It's OK.

916
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,999
It's so fine. So fine.

917
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,759
Hey, how are you doing?

918
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,679
I'm fine! I just broke another leaf.
You have spares?

919
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,479
No. No!
Of course I don't have spares.

920
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,839
And, I mean, you've deliberately
picked native wild flowers.

921
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,399
They're not meant to be in a vase.
No.

922
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,319
Maybe they're resisting.
Yeah, no, they are.

923
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,079
And they're always, like,
quite splayed.

924
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,679
So you can throw them any old way
in there. Nature. Yeah.

925
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:07,760
Hashtag nature!

926
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,519
I'm really trying to get all this

927
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,319
done now because I don't want
to be rushing that glazing stage.

928
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,680
I hope they like rustic charm.

929
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,600
Potters, that's half an hour left.

930
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,519
Oh, no, no, no, no!

931
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,519
This is nuts.

932
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,439
I just wanted to get something on
the vase.

933
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,119
This is the hills
and Loch Ness around where I live.

934
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,839
Whoop!

935
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,439
So it's just sort of some patterning

936
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,639
and some sort of
decoration type things.

937
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,759
As soon as I've done this,

938
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,160
I need to get it glazed
and start stacking my design up.

939
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,319
Transparent glaze is normally
applied for a glossy finish.

940
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,679
Don't like this bit.
It's too stressful.

941
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,519
I just want to make sure I get it
all glazed.

942
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,799
But today its main role is to act

943
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,519
as the glue that locks the posy
in place.

944
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,919
Time for arranging.

945
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,599
I'm gonna put a good amount of glaze
there and hope that that sticks.

946
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,799
Foxglove on first
because it's the big centrepiece

947
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,959
and then arrange everything
else around it.

948
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,199
I need to, like, place them
while they're still semi-wet

949
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,799
so they definitely stick on.

950
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,799
But despite its structural duties,

951
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,239
the glaze still demands a delicate
touch.

952
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:16,639
If the clear glaze is too thick,

953
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,239
it will sort of pull
and almost look like milk.

954
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:21,359
And the more ambitious
the arrangement...

955
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,119
It's like a delicate operation, basically.

956
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,639
...the more the potters challenge
the holder,

957
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,519
their own construction skills...

958
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,519
Oh! That's not what I wanted to do.

959
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,639
...and the bonding power
of the glaze.

960
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,719
And we're just hoping that
everything just sticks together.

961
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:39,879
I'm just currently just using the
bigger holes...

962
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,279
Oh, just broke there.

963
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,479
Once I've got my big bits in,
then I can

964
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,199
just keep putting smaller things
in gaps.

965
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,759
It looks cute up to now.

966
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,959
Oh, I might not give it to my mum
after all!

967
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,119
I might keep it!

968
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,319
Potters, that's ten minutes left.

969
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,039
Waa!

970
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,319
Squeaky bum time.

971
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,559
It's quite gappy.
I wish I'd done more small holes.

972
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,319
Just shaving off some of the glaze

973
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,119
because the holes
were a bit tight.

974
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,039
It's just chucking things in.

975
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,919
Final minute now, potters.
One minute left.

976
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,959
Just double-checking
everything's there.

977
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,359
Oh, God. Snap, snap, snap.

978
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,920
30 seconds!

979
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:20,840
Bother with the moonwort.

980
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,959
It's covered in glaze now.

981
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,159
Ten, nine, eight, seven,

982
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,279
six, five, four, three,

983
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,240
two, one... Step away
from your benches.

984
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:37,119
Oh, my days.

985
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,239
Oh, it's like a room of granny
stuff.

986
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:43,319
I need to sit down.

987
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,679
The potters must now take their
posies to Princess

988
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,159
for one final firing.

989
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,399
When they next see them,
it'll be judgment time.

990
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,959
The last sort of hour was a bit
hodgepodge.

991
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,559
A little bit concerned about things
shifting in the glost firing.

992
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,159
Hopefully we'll have a posy.

993
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,319
I got everything decorated
and in the vase.

994
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,399
I'm a little bit concerned that

995
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,759
my plants supported on long,
thin stems might droop.

996
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,600
Yeah, if they don't stick,
it's going to be a problem.

997
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,439
{\an8}♪ If you're going...

998
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,559
{\an8}It's Judgment Day and the potters
are about to unearth how their

999
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,799
{\an8}posies have fared
in the glost firing.

1000
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:23,959
Good luck, everybody.

1001
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,319
♪ ..to wear some flowers
in your hair... ♪

1002
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,999
I was happy yesterday.

1003
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,559
The kiln is always an unknown,
especially with the glost firing.

1004
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,279
Oh, my God.

1005
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,959
But I'm going to try
and remain positive.

1006
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,079
Oh, my God. Look at your
Cavolo Nero.

1007
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,639
That's beautiful!

1008
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,439
I hope the judges see the sentiment
behind it.

1009
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,599
It is... Or, you know,
memories of my dad gardening.

1010
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,119
Yeah, it does mean a lot to me.

1011
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,720
I thought it would be heavier!

1012
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,999
I had a very strong feeling
after I'd arranged it

1013
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,119
that my long, tall stems
were going to flop

1014
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,719
and they have done.
Um, but I am actually pleased

1015
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:03,319
with, like, the detail on the
flowers when you see them.

1016
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,079
But you do have to kind
of crane your neck to see them.

1017
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,079
It's shifted quite a bit.
There's some bits I really do like.

1018
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,520
Yeah, there's lots
of things I can see wrong with it.

1019
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,879
Oh, my gosh,
they look absolutely wonderful.

1020
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,319
Well done, well done.
Let's get on with the judging.

1021
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,200
Kayleigh, if you could please bring
your posy up to the judges.

1022
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,399
It just looks absolutely amazing.
Thank you.

1023
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,679
Absolutely incredible.

1024
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,519
You're looking at that rose there,

1025
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,719
it just looks so lifelike
or flower-like.

1026
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:42,999
It's small, but perfectly formed.

1027
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,719
That's the only thing
that I could actually fault it on.

1028
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:47,799
It's brilliant.

1029
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,999
Yeah, I mean, it is compact,
but it feels so well-arranged.

1030
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,119
It really does.

1031
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,519
It doesn't feel like there's a leaf
out of place.

1032
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,239
They've been placed with purpose
and they've kind of remained.

1033
00:41:57,240 --> 00:42:00,599
I just think the level of realism
is extraordinary.

1034
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,439
I had the best time making it.
I would do it all again tomorrow.

1035
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,639
Well, surprise...

1036
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,239
LAUGHTER

1037
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:07,280
Sorry, guys!

1038
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,039
Everything just feels

1039
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,159
so beautifully finished,
so well-observed and so realistic.

1040
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,599
I mean, the shape of the dandelion
leaves. Mm.

1041
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,479
That subtle shape. You managed

1042
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,159
to achieve the texture behind
the petals of the rose.

1043
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,759
You've not only done it,
but you've excelled, lovey.

1044
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,079
You've excelled.
It's... It's absolutely wonderful.

1045
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,240
Thank you. It's a joy to look at.
It really is.

1046
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,759
Well, you know,
as you were bringing it up to us,

1047
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,719
the composition
seemed to really work.

1048
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:42,359
And these pussy willows,

1049
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,239
they're just at the right
angle to actually accentuate

1050
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:47,679
the overall structure of the rest of
the flowers.

1051
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,799
It feels like a really
ambitious arrangement.

1052
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,599
It's very tall, very upright,

1053
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,039
and you've kind of retained quite
a lot of structure there.

1054
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,399
The glaring thing that I notice -
the vase is not a bad shape,

1055
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,799
just a bit of an afterthought with
the decoration.

1056
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,559
I think the poppies are lovely,
actually,

1057
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,839
where you've kind of got
that very subtle texture.

1058
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,239
You've got areas where the glaze

1059
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:09,919
has gone a little bit milky on
some of the leaves.

1060
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,799
I love the bluebell bells.

1061
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,039
I just feel like the stems
are perhaps a little bit chunky.

1062
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,999
Yeah. Thank you.
Yeah. Well done, Bill.

1063
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,320
Oh, thank you. Well done.

1064
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,319
Are you pleased with it?
I'm over the moon,

1065
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,479
to be honest. It's all little pieces
until you put it together,

1066
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,439
and then it's just seeing it come
to life.

1067
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,439
The first thing I notice about it,
it's the overall structure.

1068
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,039
The pussy willow's really lovely,

1069
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,559
and they have actually sort of
stayed upright

1070
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,479
to create that lovely height
to the whole thing.

1071
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,519
It's a really beautiful silhouette,

1072
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,439
just creates such lovely spring from
the middle.

1073
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,519
It's a really,
really lovely arrangement.

1074
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,479
When you look into it, there's more

1075
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,639
and more layers upon layers
of detail.

1076
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,199
Like the centres of the thistles
have got lovely texture. Mm.

1077
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,959
And there's some lovely texture on
the leaves around them.

1078
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,759
You've got one wayward flower, perhaps.

1079
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,999
Was that lacking a hole?
No, it was in there.

1080
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,359
I think it's just slipped.

1081
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,559
I think it's worked
really beautifully well.

1082
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,359
And you don't see stems. It's full.
There's lots of foliage.

1083
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,639
The shape and the form
of the vase to go with the flowers,

1084
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,159
brilliant. Yeah, it looks great.

1085
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,239
Well done. Thank you.

1086
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:22,080
You pleased? Yeah, I really am.
Great. Great. Thank you.

1087
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,039
Let's just talk about the glaringly
obvious. That. That, yeah.

1088
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,519
I quite like the way it's hiding
the cow's modesty.

1089
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,359
It's a bit like, "I'm just hiding
behind a leaf! Do you mind?!"

1090
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,759
SHE LAUGHS
Yeah.

1091
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,399
Of all of the places for a leaf to
drop, I cannot even!

1092
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,159
I know, because that illustration's
really lovely.

1093
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,959
The display looks quite chaotic.

1094
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,279
It's basically about growing
up on the farm.

1095
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:50,319
And it's all the flowers

1096
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,639
that were either in the garden,
in the hedgerows.

1097
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,799
As if you would grab
those flowers

1098
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,839
at the end of the lane
and just shove them in a milk jug.

1099
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,759
Yeah. There's some wonderful,
wonderful elements to this.

1100
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,639
I mean, the poppies... Oh!

1101
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,279
They just look absolutely fabulous.
Beautiful.

1102
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,679
The daisies are staring me
down in a way I don't like.

1103
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,079
Yeah. Bit odd. Mm.
Bit stiff.

1104
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,479
The buttercups... The buttercups.
The inside of the buttercups.

1105
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:13,879
I don't hate the buttercups.

1106
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,079
The buttercups look really great.
They're gorgeous. You can just...

1107
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,519
Yeah! See them under your neck.

1108
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,679
Do I like butter?
You do like butter!

1109
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,839
You do like butter! Oh, good.
That's nice. He does! He does!

1110
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,839
A few of the flowers, I guess where
the petals in the top

1111
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,639
have been a bit heavier have
just sort of pulled the stem over

1112
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,999
and they've kind of lent out of
the arrangement.

1113
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,559
But, yeah, you wouldn't notice it

1114
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,399
because it's such a feast
for the eyes.

1115
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,119
Really competently thrown, that.
Thank you.

1116
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:38,160
Thank you. Well done.

1117
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,199
Yeah, I've got my moonwort on there, just.

1118
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,159
But, um, didn't quite survive bisque
as planned,

1119
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,079
so he's kind of resting on a leaf,
but, um...

1120
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,319
OK.
And how are you feeling about it?

1121
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,759
It's not
what I wanted to present today,

1122
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,879
but I've learned
so much from having done this.

1123
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,479
Like, I know how long I can get away
with making those stems

1124
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,679
before they droop.
Yeah, it's kind of a shame. Yeah.

1125
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,359
Because when you look at
the individual components,

1126
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,959
they're really extraordinarily
beautiful. Yeah.

1127
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,639
And I think the way
you've created this foxglove,

1128
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,999
like hanging the bell,
I mean, that is inspired.

1129
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,639
It is just unfortunate that, yeah,

1130
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,359
they've all sort of started to kind
of slightly wilt a little bit.

1131
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,559
It looks like a roe deer has sat
on it. Yeah!

1132
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,399
The individual flowers themselves

1133
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,239
are really, really well-observed.

1134
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:30,759
This is a triumph for you.
Aw, thanks!

1135
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,159
This works really, really well.

1136
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,159
I love the veining. And obviously
you notice that straight away

1137
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,239
because there's nothing
much around it.

1138
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:41,879
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think the vase
works quite well.

1139
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,199
But, yeah, it would have been nice

1140
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,839
to see a bit more body
in the actual display.

1141
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,879
It's just a shame that green
is sort of a little bit flat.

1142
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,279
I would say the colour on
the outside of the foxgloves

1143
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,359
perhaps is similarly flat. Could
have done with more depth, yeah.

1144
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,039
I really,
really want to do this again

1145
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,719
because I've really enjoyed the
process of making these flowers.

1146
00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:00,319
Yeah. I'm delighted with the way
some things have worked with it.

1147
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,719
So, yeah, I honestly can't wait
to make another one.

1148
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:05,560
Great. Well done. Thank you.

1149
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,559
It's an absolute feast for the eyes.

1150
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:17,719
It's so much to see.

1151
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:19,119
It's a really full display.

1152
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:23,079
I think actually the biggest triumph
for you is the little flowers.

1153
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,039
They work really, really well.
They were very fiddly!

1154
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,719
If truth be told, they're probably
the most well-observed

1155
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:31,359
and the most realistic of all
the flowers. Yeah.

1156
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,879
It was a really brave choice

1157
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,199
of flower species
that you went with.

1158
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,199
These seemed a bit stylised.

1159
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,639
I think it casts quite a striking
silhouette.

1160
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,159
These are very graphic.

1161
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,759
I'd say you've sort
of made it difficult for yourself.

1162
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,999
You know,
a lot of these are surreal-looking.

1163
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,439
Yeah. You know?
So I think it's really difficult

1164
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,519
to kind of build
in that sense of realism.

1165
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,439
We can see a leaf
here has fallen back off itself,

1166
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,879
hasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. And do you
know, it's probably the only one on

1167
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,239
there that I haven't painted
the bottom of the leaf.

1168
00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:00,959
I can't fault you for ambition.

1169
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,839
And actually, I think the actual
holder that's underneath

1170
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,359
all this is a testament to

1171
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,199
the way you you've arranged it

1172
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,079
because that clay has moved in

1173
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,959
that firing, and that holder

1174
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,199
has actually held it all in place, really.

1175
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,239
It's astonishing, the amount
you've got done. Brilliant.

1176
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,480
Well done. Thanks.
Thank you. Cheers.

1177
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,639
That's for you. Aw!

1178
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,239
Favouritism will get you nowhere!

1179
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:33,639
Well done. You've won.

1180
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,239
Thank you.

1181
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:36,279
Sorry!

1182
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,839
LAUGHTER

1183
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,799
I mean, I'm a really,
really keen vegetable gardener,

1184
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,919
so, I mean, I recognise all of these
immediately as what they are.

1185
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,799
I make for my dad,
who was a keen gardener,

1186
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,119
had a couple of allotments.

1187
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,959
It's such a great way of rethinking
the brief,

1188
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,639
just thinking outside of
that standard posy.

1189
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,559
This is amazing, lovey. This. Yeah.

1190
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,879
That Cavolo Nero is just beautiful.

1191
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,559
There's a lot of things
that are amazing about it,

1192
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,199
but this is just incredible.

1193
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,279
I just want to eat it!

1194
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,039
And these artichokes as well.
It's just brilliant.

1195
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,159
I really like the chives, actually.
Yeah.

1196
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,359
I think they have a really lovely,
fine graphic line that kind of

1197
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,519
draws everything together somehow.

1198
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,079
The vase - brilliant!

1199
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,039
The vase... It's beautiful,

1200
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,679
but it kind of it all
melds into one.

1201
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,679
It feels like part of the posy
somehow. Yeah.

1202
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,479
Are you pleased
with how it's turned out?

1203
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,799
I am really pleased.
I'm really proud of it.

1204
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,719
You should be, mate.
And more to the point,

1205
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:31,920
do you think your father
would be proud of it? Oh! Eh?

1206
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:34,479
KEITH LAUGHS

1207
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,359
I think he would. Yeah.

1208
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:39,999
It's brilliant.

1209
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,439
It's fabulous. Well done.

1210
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:42,480
Thank you.

1211
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,599
I did get a bit emotional in there.
It's just, yeah,

1212
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,599
it does mean a lot to me. I'm
feeling really proud of myself.

1213
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,359
I'd love to be Potter Of The Week.
Yeah.

1214
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,959
Also there's the second challenge,
didn't go well, so who knows?

1215
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,159
Oh, that was lovely.
I really am chuffed with that.

1216
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,239
So, who knows? I'm just happy.
I really am.

1217
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:02,719
It could have gone better,
but I didn't get

1218
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:04,799
the colour application right
on the leaves,

1219
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,359
picked and made flowers
that were too spindly.

1220
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,039
For that to have been my
first floral posy that I've made,

1221
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,839
yeah, yeah, I'm chuffed with it.

1222
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,039
Contented now.

1223
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,119
Sort of more contented than I was
when I first saw it.

1224
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,359
It was like, what the hell is this?

1225
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,239
You know, we might have two people
going, so I might be going today,

1226
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:24,280
but, you know, I'm very happy
with what I've done.

1227
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,159
Week seven!

1228
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,519
And we have seven potters left.

1229
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,519
We do.

1230
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,719
You sent nobody home last week
and it was quite nice, actually.

1231
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:39,959
It was. Is that an option
for this week?

1232
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,839
Yeah. Keep them all in till the
final. Yeah? Why not?

1233
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:47,239
Well, I mean...! Actually, our
potters have had an amazing week.

1234
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:50,039
One of the best
second challenges I've ever seen.

1235
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,079
You liked that one, did you?
I... Not only did I love it,

1236
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,799
but I could see the potters loved it
and they really,

1237
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,679
really did extraordinary work this
week in both the challenges.

1238
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,279
Yeah. Let's start with Kayleigh.

1239
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,119
Stunning. Stunning. It was the most

1240
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,359
lifelike of all the posies.

1241
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,399
It didn't perhaps have
that very striking silhouette,

1242
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,159
but the moment it was
in front of us,

1243
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,359
it was just pristinely perfect.
Good for her.

1244
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,559
She's done stunning work this week.
Well, if we're talking about

1245
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,839
stunning work, we have to talk about
Naveed. What a triumph.

1246
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:25,279
And one of the briefs was a
modern... True. ..interpretation.

1247
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,279
And we're seeing that from Naveed,
aren't we? Really bold decisions.

1248
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,279
It had a very striking silhouette.

1249
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,239
Is he in line for Potter Of The
Week? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

1250
00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:36,439
Let's talk about Emily's
arrangement. At the biscuit stage,

1251
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,639
Emily's held probably the most
promise of that sense of realism.

1252
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,159
Mm, yeah.

1253
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,039
But the colours were, on occasion,
a bit flat.

1254
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,519
Yeah, a lot of green going on. Bill
has had a very interesting week.

1255
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,479
He also chose wild flowers.
Yeah, the pussy willow was lovely.

1256
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,319
Gorgeous. Beautifully decorated.

1257
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,839
It just lacked
that final level of finish,

1258
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,999
I think. The vase,
perhaps, contentious.

1259
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,319
It sort of smacked of, "Oh, quick,
I'd better decorate the vase."

1260
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,679
I think it's interesting
with looking at Fynn's final posy,

1261
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,679
there wasn't the same attention to
detail with the decoration.

1262
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,999
The plants,
they did seem a bit stylised.

1263
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,279
They weren't that realism
that we were looking for. Yeah.

1264
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,959
Now, while reminding you of the fact
that we have seven potters,

1265
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,639
you don't have to get rid
of two this week.

1266
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,199
It would make organisational sense.

1267
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,999
When do we ever make sense?
Yeah. No. No, no. That's true.

1268
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,800
Make your final deliberation
and I'll see you in a bit.

1269
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,719
Welcome back, potters.

1270
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:39,679
Now, the judges eventually have
made a decision.

1271
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,759
So, first, the good news.

1272
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,480
This week's Potter Of The Week is...

1273
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,280
Kayleigh! Ooh!

1274
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,999
No way! Oh, my gosh!

1275
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,439
Well done, Kayleigh. Thank you!

1276
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,559
Well done. Thank you.

1277
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,599
And now... Ugh!

1278
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,599
...the person who is going

1279
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,440
to leave the Pottery this week is...

1280
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,240
Emily.

1281
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,319
Yeah. No, that's all right. Yeah.

1282
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,040
I'm ready. I'm ready.

1283
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,959
These tears are not a reflection
of how I feel inside

1284
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,079
because I am actually, like,

1285
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,519
totally at peace with what I've done
and proud of what I've done.

1286
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,359
Thanks for being such great craic.

1287
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,479
It's been... It's been a really,
really fun seven... Seven weeks!

1288
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:37,599
Yeah. Yeah.

1289
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,799
I don't think there's
another experience quite like it

1290
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,119
on the planet!

1291
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,759
It's been amazing.

1292
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,079
I wouldn't change it for the world.

1293
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,159
Best friend potters, forevs.

1294
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,999
Oh! Seven weeks. Aw!
Oh, my gosh.

1295
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,959
Unfortunately for Emily,
the arrangement

1296
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,479
just didn't really work for her.
That foxglove was really prominent

1297
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,479
and there
was literally nothing around it.

1298
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,719
This week, we could
only justify one potter going home,

1299
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:03,280
so two potters may go
home next week.

1300
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,119
And so, as Emily bids farewell to
the Pottery,

1301
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,359
Kayleigh's posy becomes
her second piece

1302
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,079
to take its place
in the Throw Down Gallery.

1303
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,519
It was between Naveed and
Kayleigh.

1304
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,599
You had Naveed
with this really ambitious

1305
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,759
arrangement with
all that Cavolo Nero -

1306
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,039
beautiful texture.
It was a feast for the eyes.

1307
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,359
Lovely comments.
I'm through! Quarterfinalist.

1308
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:27,879
Just mad.

1309
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,159
Then you had Kayleigh,
who really proved

1310
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,839
that beautiful things can come
in small packages.

1311
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,519
Wow, that was a lovely surprise!

1312
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,199
Her posy just had a sense of realism
that none of

1313
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,039
our other potters managed
to achieve.

1314
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,039
I really loved making both
those things in equal measures.

1315
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,599
Links to nature, you know, stories.
I just loved that.

1316
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,959
So that feels extra special.

1317
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,840
I need to phone my husband,
but he's at the chiropractor, so...!

1318
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:58,399
THEY GROAN

1319
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,199
Next time,
it's the quarterfinals.

1320
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,839
It's gonna be a crazy day.

1321
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,839
The potters face their most personal
challenge yet,

1322
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,839
sculpting themselves in clay.

1323
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,599
Never drawn myself,
never sculpted myself.

1324
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:11,719
And the heat is on

1325
00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:14,959
as they build their own brick kilns
in which to fire them.

1326
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,839
Bring on the fire!
Who will crack under the pressure?

1327
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,159
Oh! It is what it is, isn't it?

1328
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,599
And who will make it through to
the semifinals?

1329
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,720
It's fantastic.
Absolutely a celebration of you.

1330
