Last night's episode of The Great Pottery Throw Down might be the most emotional ever
Contains spoilers for Great Pottery Throw Down episode 7
It’s one of our favourite craft TV shows and a must-watch for any budding potters – and last night fans were overwhelmed by the emotional stories shared on the latest episode of The Great Pottery Throw Down.
The pottery show – which sees 12 brilliant home potters battle it out to be crowned the country’s best at the craft at the home of pottery, Stoke on Trent – continued last night.
It was the same format as usual for the latest episode in the seventh series, with expert judges Rich Miller and Keith Brymer Jones judging the contestants’ efforts through two challenges.
At the end of each episode, one person is knocked out and another is made Potter of the Week. This week, the potters were asked to make a light sculpture out of white porcelain and black clay. They were encouraged to make the sculpture representative to a struggle they'd experienced, and use the light and shade of the materials to depict it.
Fans were in floods of tears watching the potters create their beautiful sculptures and sharing the personal stories which had inspired them. @MsNottledim commented on Twitter: "I really appreciate the potters sharing so much of their personal stories this week. That’s no small thing".
