Episode 2: Bookends and Brickmaking

Summary

Siobhán McSweeney hosts the pottery challenge, as judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller put the potters through their paces. The remaining contestants create a statement pair of bookends and face a surprise brick-making challenge

Review

Jane Rackham

Tonight’s throw down challenge — to make 10 identical bricks — looks great fun, but boy, is it messy. The happy potters end up splattered with clay, while there are gobbets of the stuff of all over the ceiling and floor. “That was horrible to watch,” teases Siobhán McSweeney. First, though, is a slab-based challenge — creating a pair of personalised bookends. Several contestants decorate them with their favourite pets or hobbies but one has chosen a “hag to home” theme. No? You’re not alone, it gets a totally blank look from Siobhán, too.
