Such a fun video Mia, you must continue the series 🙌🏻 the Throwdown is filmed over several weeks, it looks like they make and fire in one weekend but they don’t. They film for around 30 days over 9-10 weeks.

Woooahh! Thanks for the info!!! Honestly after watching the second episode yesterday, I really started to question my weekend theory (they mentioned a 24-hour firing and I'm like... wait...) By chance, do you know how many days it takes to film one episode?

Yeah, the 24 hour firing AND Rose took the pieces out of the kiln with no gloves so there's another 24 hours at least....

@@PotterytothePeople Ok, this is approximately how I think they film this show... Weekend #1- Throw/Build ALL episode 1 challenges. Weekend #2- Glaze All episode 1 challenges. Weekend #3- Film all episode 1 challenge reveals and judging AND Throw/Build episode 2 challenges. Weekend #4- Glaze episode 2 challenges. Some of these weekends might be 3-4 days if more drying time is necessary. In Between filming, the pieces are fired by the kiln keeper. In the first few seasons, it was the current judge Rich Miller who was in charge of firing. Also, keep in mind that some challenges only require throwing so there is no drying or firing time needed.

Maybe you can invite a previous contestant to be a guest on your channel and ask about all the logistics, I’d be so interested to know more about it!

Just so you know, the contestants in the show know what the challenges will be well before shooting and while they still have access to their own studios. This lets them design, plan and even practice their pieces in advance. AFAIK, they do throw / build the final pieces in the allocated time and in the show's studio, but problems like your leaves being too flat to leave an imprint can be ironed out in advance. (BTW, I do a lot of leaf imprints in my pottery, so I know the pain of finding a cool leaf to then find out that the veining is not raised enough).

HaHa! That means Mia is leaving them in the proverbial (clay) dust! Hah! Mia. You have helped an old man find a hobby that he can physically do as things like scuba, skydiving and cycling are physically impossible now.

You did a great job in the time allowed. I hope you continue with the challenge and that your campaign for a German spinoff is successful.

I loved watching you do this challenge. I’m a hand builder from the uk, and watch throw down every week. What you achieved over the time was amazing, how they do it without everything blowing up I’ve no idea. It takes weeks sometimes for my mugs etc., to dry slowly and evenly. Please do it again, but when you are fully better. Well done your concept was wonderful. ❤

I, too, love the programme . It was because of the first series, I started attending adult ed classes in ceramics. Years later, I'm still in the class with the same tutor, she is an amazing Potter and I've learnt so much from her. i love your take on the programme content and how you adapt yourself to 'stay within the brief'.

I am so impressed! That tomato jar and cake stand are my favourites! 😍

Love it! Please continue the series!

Keith and Rich are my family’s favs, never miss an episode.

The series was only just released in Australia! I’m so excited to watch and am so reminded of your videos now finally getting to watch the episodes

Well Mia, this was quite impressive. From the conception to the throwing to the handbuilding to the painting (yeah, I agree the greens were a little yucky) to the technical aspects of drying and firing your skills shone through. You did it all. I therefore award you the Grand Prize of ..... hmmm, now what would that be??? Well will just have to do.

Great to see you working in a much more realistic time frame. I was a working potter for many years, and I’m sure we are not told all the time allowed outside of filming for the Throw Down. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Having said that I have enjoyed every series and become an addicted fan. If my hands were not so bad with arthritis I’d have loved to have a go myself. Thank you for filming and taking on the challenges, hope to see more of you working that clay magic ✨love from Bridget here in the UK . 😊

Great job! Yes, please continue!!! ❤

This was awesome!

The shows are designed so the viewer only gets a sense of tension, chaos, stress. That is what sells the show. I don’t really think it is that tense or chaotic when the contestants are making their items. They are in a time crunch but the stress is a built in media thing with tense music and video cuts giving a sense of that chaos. Chill and enjoy the process just like you are doing here. I learn a lot from your videos.

Great video!! I would love to see you do more. Thank you!!

That looked like fun, I've never done pottery but I love the show

Love watching you turn.

What perfect timing, we just got a new studio space and I’ve been wanting to get back into pottery but on a friendlier budget 😅 I really enjoyed making mugs but would love to get into bowls and plates to have some cool dish ware to make our food look prettier.

I'm just a pottery fan. I've never in my life put my hands into wet clay to try to make pottery - but I LOVE the art. I found The Great Pottery Throwdown during the COVID lockdown and it's the only reality TV elimination contest I've ever gotten into (couldn't care less about the cooking or dating shows). I love your take on the Throwdown and seeing a talented potter try to do the same thing. Awesome job.

Fantastisch! Your efforts are appreciated and are actually very educational, something which is an extension of the earlier seasons. Consider picking your episodes strategically and not try to burn yourself out copying every one.

I love the creative interest hand built pots offer over wheel thrown pots. I love to wheel throw and I still struggle with it, but there is just something about hand built pots that I can't get enough of. I enjoyed watching you do the challenge and they all came out so adorable. Very creative! Side note, I was walking on the beach New Year's Eve and saw a sea grape tree near the beach and snapped off a leaf and made a plate out of it. Inspiration that I may have not noticed had it not been for watching your video (s.) So thank you for sharing your art and inspiration with us. I appreciate it.

Oh, you simply HAVE TO continue with this series. I love the TV programme and always thought it would be so intriguing if my teacher gave us challenges. Obviously not those big ones (that would simply not be feasible in a once-a-week course), but maybe some blind throwing challenges or time restricted ones. And it’s great to see you do some of this, too.

I love watching the program on pay TV...but in Italy it's no longer on😢. I watched your first episode and cannot wait to have a moment to watch the second...SO MUCH FUN...thank you for this.❤

Every couple of years I'm reminded of the existence of great pottery throwdown, am absolutely consumed by it for a few weeks and then forget about it again lol. But I love how you did this, I always wonder if it's possible to do it with the time they allow there and considering the lovely results I guessed it is! It's not ideal but still, I loved watching you, and how calm you were the whole time. I'd love to see more of this!
