The Great Pottery Throw Down

- Season 5

(2022)

Comedian Ellie Taylor temporarily stands in for the injured Siobhán McSweeney to present the start of the fifth series of the pottery challenge. The 12 contestants must make a children's crockery set and ceramic milk bottles.

The 11 remaining potters hand-build a pendulum wall clock and face a surprise blindfold challenge. Who will be crowned potter of the week and who will leave the competition?

The remaining potters make inanimate objects and judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller pay tribute to the pottery hometown of Stoke, as they set a bottle kiln challenge.

Ellie Taylor hosts Raku week, in which the potters are asked to make a Japanese-inspired tea set and then to take on a hand-pulling task. Ceramicist Florian Gadsby joins the judges to assess their efforts and eliminate a contestant.

It's Garden Week and the eight remaining potters create a trio of character gnomes, before guest judge Adam Keeling sets them the biggest second challenge ever, of making a sea kale forcing jar.
