Who won The Great Pottery Throw Down 2026?

The Great Pottery Throw Down came to a wholesome conclusion tonight as the final three potters took to the Gladstone Pottery Museum one last time the hopes of being crowned winner.

Over the course of the series, the potters have been put through their paces, facing challenges that range from making bricks, bookends, puzzle judges and animal sculptures to name just a few.

For judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller, they had an incredibly tough decision to make as the remaining three potters – Angharad, Elham and Fynn – took on their final task. The potters where tasked with creating miniature model theatres as well as taking on a tricky throwing technique in their last surprise second challenge.

But as the challenges drew to a close, it was revealed that 37-year-old Fynn from Cornwall was crowned the winner of The Great Pottery Throw Down 2026.

Fynn first tried pottery as a six week addition to his illustration degree, but it was only two years ago that he began to take his hobby seriously.

After learning he had won the show, Fynn said: "Honestly I am absolutely dumbstruck! That lot over there encouraged me to even give it a go - and if they hadn’t – I wouldn’t be here now.

"Do you know what, I think I have learned that I am actually a little bit more in control of myself than I thought I was. And if I put the effort in I can achieve that, so it’s going to take some time to process it all that’s for sure. I am just really overwhelmed and I know that there is nothing else I can say to be honest with you."

Amid many congratulations, judge Keith said: "What makes Fynn really stand out and be a worthy winner is his attention to detail, his observational skills, and being able to observe a particular surface and recreate it in clay. Need I say anymore, Fynn is the winner!"

While fellow judge Rich added: "Fynn has been consistent all the way through. There are skills that are taught and you can learn and you can hone over time. But he just has it in him, and in the final he has produced the most extraordinary piece and it spoke bucket loads about his skills, his creativity and his personal stories."
