You can now apply to be on The Great Pottery Throw Down
It's one of our favourite craft TV shows – and now you can apply to take part in the next series of The Great Pottery Throw Down.
The Channel 4 series sees 12 brilliant amateur potters from across the UK battle it out to be crowned the very best home potter in the country.
Each week, their moulding, shaping and painting skills are put to the test with a series of gruelling challenges, judged by experts Rich Miller and Keith Brymer Jones and a host of guest potters.
On the show, the potters are tasked to create everything from intricately decorated lamps to striking teapots. Each week, one potter is crowned Potter of the Week, and another is sadly sent home.
The show is filmed in Gladstone Pottery Museum in the UK home of all things clay, Stoke on Trent.
Viewers have been loving watching the latest series of the craft competition, and on Sunday 3 March, fans across the country will tune in to the semi final, which will determine which four potters makes it to the final and one step closer to the coveted trophy.
