1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,320
This week our eight remaining
potters

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,240
face their most difficult challenge
yet,

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,320
as they get up close and personal
with creatures so ugly,

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,120
they could turn milk sour with just
a glance.

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,920
Honestly, these guys are so
grotesque

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,120
they could ward off evil spirits.

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,200
Just look there, see what I mean?

8
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,280
Oi! Charming.

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,120
No, not you guys!

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,880
I mean the gargoyles.

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,080
The potters are making gargoyles
this week.

12
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Why do you think I'm on the roof?

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,680
To get a better signal?

14
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,560
Oh, yeah.

15
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Four bars.

16
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,240
Welcome to the Great Pottery
Throw Down.

17
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,600
Last time...

18
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,560
You make me dance now.

19
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,360
..the potters faced the infamous
Raku...

20
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,560
I love Raku week!

21
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,320
The smoke, the fire.

22
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,520
..and a frilling and flamboyant
spot test.

23
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Oh! Well, it's certainly more droopy
than flamboyant.

24
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,760
Whilst James took the hot spot...

25
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Oh, James, that's great.

26
00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,920
That's really great.

27
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,960
..Fabiola's hopes were
extinguished...

28
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,040
Fabiola.

29
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,080
It's OK.

30
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,040
..as she became the fourth person to
leave the pottery.

31
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,600
I'm gonna miss you so, so much.

32
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:12,200
This time

33
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,040
our potters hit the tiles

34
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,760
for a monstrous hand-build.

35
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,600
It's genuinely

36
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,000
disgusting and scary.

37
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,200
And now the gargoyle?

38
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,520
Hey!

39
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,080
And face a throw down on another
scale.

40
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,720
Oh, but it is a big boy.

41
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,360
The size of my head.

42
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,760
Who will be up there...

43
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,400
It's a really, really wonderful
piece.

44
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,320
..and who will come crashing down?

45
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Babe, don't worry.

46
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,560
It's just a lump of clay.

47
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,680
Making Time
by The Creation

48
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,000


49
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,480


50
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,240


51
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,720


52
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,080
It's the halfway point of the
competition

53
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,920
and for our eight remaining potters,

54
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,280
the challenges are about to reach
new heights.

55
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,960

stairs...

56
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Halfway there, I mean, it's only
week five

57
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,160
but it feels like a lot longer.

58
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,920
You know, in a good way.

59
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,680
Not in a, not in a bad, imprisoned
way.

60
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,960
Gargoyles, who would have thought?

61
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,560
It's really hard because

62
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,640
my style is not that at all.

63
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
It's very light-hearted and fun and,

64
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,480
and childlike.

65
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Gargoyles, they're so hideous
because they scare away the demons,

66
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,760
so they need to be vicious.

67
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,680
I can't do it!

68
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,680


69
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,960
Good morning, potters, and welcome
back to the pottery.

70
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,280
The theme this week is Up On The
Roof,

71
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,000
because the judges would like you to
hand build

72
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,920
a mythical and fantastical gargoyle.

73
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,840
The gargoyles will sit upon an apex
ridge tile,

74
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,760
just like they would on a roof.

75
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,040
Now, you'll be building onto a
former

76
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,720
and your finished pieces will be
quite large.

77
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,120
So, your construction skills are
really gonna be under the spotlight.

78
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,640
These are once fired.

79
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,520
So, you won't have the usual range
of glazes to fall back on for
decoration.

80
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,360
Give them character and expression
to really bring them to life.

81
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,240
OK then, potters, you've been given
three hours

82
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,000
to hand build your gargoyle and apex
roof tile

83
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,360
and your time starts

84
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,480
now!

85
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,680
The potters have three hours

86
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,080
to make their roof tiles and
gargoyles.

87
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,480
Then, after they have dried to
leather-hard,

88
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,240
a further two and a half hours to
add the decorative detail,

89
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,520
that will bring their monstrous
creations

90
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,560
to life.

91
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,400
That seems like quite a long time to
make this,

92
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,440
but the time goes quickly in the
studio.

93
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,440
I'm feeling excited to be able to do
something that's technical in the
base,

94
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,240
but the rest of it, once you get
onto the gargoyle should be a lot of
fun. Should be.

95
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,560
Gargoyle. How difficult can it be?

96
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,640
So, week five - gargoyles.

97
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,160
We've gone a bit scary, haven't we?

98
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,080
We have. Do you feel like you're
being watched? Cos I do.

99
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,560
We're giving them the challenge of
making gargoyles on an apex tile...

100
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,480
Yeah. ..and it's a toughie this
week.

101
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,720
There's difficulties in making the
tile, alone.

102
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,200
There's gonna be a natural weak spot
right at the top,

103
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,000
so those joins in those slabs have
to be water tight...

104
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,520
Yeah. ..and then they're
constructing on top of that.

105
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,000
They've gotta really consider

106
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,720
the weight of their gargoyle.

107
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,600
You know, it doesn't wanna be too
heavy,

108
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,800
otherwise we're just gonna have a
flat tile.

109
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:38,280
But, we want them to really think
about the proportions, as well.

110
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,760
Everything about the way they look
is exaggerated,

111
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,000
from their eyes, their mouths, I
mean, if they've got wings.

112
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760
They're all kind of bigger than you
might ordinarily expect

113
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,160
and that's because, usually, they're
at high level, they're on a roof,

114
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,880
so you're viewing them from a
distance.

115
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,600
We want something formidable.

116
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,080
I'm looking for character.

117
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,840
Absolutely, but the whole structure
is gonna be once fired,

118
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,160
our potters aren't decorating these

119
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,840
with glazes or colours or pigments.

120
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,960
So, that decoration really has to
come from those

121
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,360
surface textures...

122
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,800
This one, for example, has got all
of these lovely leaves applied

123
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:14,040
and when they catch the light they
give a real sense of depth to the
surface.

124
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,680
This is gonna lay bare all of our
potters' skills.

125
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,120
They've really got to use those
beautiful textures,

126
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,280
lovely surfaces to enhance their
makes, cos that's all they've got.

127
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,640
They wanna be bold,

128
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,840
scary,

129
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,000
and fit for purpose.

130
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,200
I wanna be impressed.

131
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,000
The potters have been given sanded
terracotta clay.

132
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,120
Look at that.

133
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,320
It's a nice fake tan, innit?

134
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,840
Its distinctive red colour comes
from the addition of iron oxide.

135
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,240
Cor, this is evil stuff, you know.

136
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:42,840
We're two minutes in.

137
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,680
It's just, it's so messy.

138
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,000
I'm glad this isn't my equipment.

139
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,800
Traditionally used to make floor and
roof tiles,

140
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:52,000
it's strong and hard-wearing.

141
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,600
It's actually really nice clay,

142
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,120
it holds itself together quite well.

143
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,120
So, perfectly suited to building the
potters' formidable gargoyles

144
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,440
and the apex roof tiles they'll sit
upon.

145
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,600
I was gonna get the tile done first
so I don't have to worry about that.

146
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,680
I get stressed out by everyone else
doing stuff.

147
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,720
I'm gonna go to my own pace today.

148
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,400
He says that. Give me ten minutes
till the end and I'll be

149
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,640
running around like a headless
chicken.

150
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,160
Hello, George. Hi. How are you?
Hello, George.

151
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,680
Hello.Tell us about your design.

152
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,800
Gargoyles are always, sort of,
something of the natural world that
we've exaggerated,

153
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,800
so I went to think what's the most
terrifying thing of the natural
world

154
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:30,720
and I think deep sea and I think
the Anglerfish just epitomises the
deep sea.

155
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,840
It does. With that really
sinister... Light, yeah. ..light
bulb

156
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,160
and its great big open jaws and its,
sort of, craggedy teeth all over
the place.

157
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,040
And how was your childhood? Fun,
yeah.

158
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,960
For his nightmarish Anglerfish,

159
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,480
George will replace the light bulb
with a bulging eyeball

160
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,920
and he'll cram over 50 razor-sharp
teeth

161
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,280
into the cavernous mouth

162
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,920
he'll carefully cut into the body of
his beast.

163
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,400
Well, as much as your animal, sort
of, defies its natural habitat,

164
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,800
the construction sounds like it's
gonna be defying physics.

165
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:02,000
Yeah. I mean, are there any elements
of this you find concerning?

166
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,680
Well, apart from the long arm coming
over the top.

167
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,160
Yeah. The giant mouth, the delicate
teeth, no, not really.

168
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,920
Apart from that, nothing!

169
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,440
I'm starting to relax now and just
have fun.

170
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,920
You're gonna go slower?

171
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,680
Right, how am I gonna join this?

172
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,000
With their slabs rolled,

173
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,320
the potters can cut and join their
tiles to form the apex.

174
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,000
So, I've made one ridge tile a
centimetre and a half bigger

175
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,400
and I'm gonna put just a coil along
there, so when it sits down

176
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,320
hopefully the coil will strengthen
that join.

177
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,320
And it's crucial their joins are
secure.

178
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,880
This tile will be the foundation
for the gargoyle.

179
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,040
Because you're gonna have that
weight sitting on the apex tile

180
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,360
you want to make sure that your tile
construction is really good,

181
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,960
because otherwise the weight will
cause, potentially,

182
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,080
the planks to sink in.

183
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Cos they won't be fired with any
support underneath,

184
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,480
you'll literally just have your clay
holding that.

185
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,920
The drying room will also play an
important role,

186
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,320
helping to firm up the clay

187
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,320
while the potters make a start on
their gargoyle body parts.

188
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,560
I've got the arms,

189
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,720
the necks and the wings.

190
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160
That will be the head of my fish.

191
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,440
James, however, is taking a bit of a
risk,

192
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,040
hoping to save himself some time.

193
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,720
I am doing what I probably shouldn't
do,

194
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,560
is I am building the gargoyle on the
top of these two tiles.

195
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,320
Scale-wise, I think there's not
gonna be that much weight on the top
in the end,

196
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,800
if I can make it thin enough

197
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,400
and not too big.

198
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,400
James will model his fearsome dragon

199
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,400
emerging from the body of an ancient
stone monster,

200
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,520
but it appears he might have missed
something important.

201
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:36,080
Where are you gonna let the air
escape from the...

202
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,120
Thank you.

203
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,280
I am gonna cut bits in then. So, you
hadn't really thought about that.
I hadn't thought about it at all.

204
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,840
Yeah, well. Obviously, the mouth is
gonna be open but I never thought
about the rest of it.

205
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,240
What are you gonna call the dragon?

206
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,200
I've not, I've not thought, uh...

207
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,960
Ugh! That's the most important
thing. I know, I know.

208
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,320
As James's anonymous gargoyle starts
to take shape,

209
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,080
some potters are still wrestling
with their tiles.

210
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,520
Ah!

211
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,560
Let's leave that there, for a
minute.

212
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,440
Never mind, it's coming, it's
coming.

213
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,160
They're just too wet to join.

214
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,360
We're under time pressure, so it's
like,

215
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,960
"Yes, it's really nice to work with
but could you please hurry up and
dry a little bit?"

216
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,760
Derek's tile will need to be solid
to support his gruesome gargoyle,

217
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,360
complete with forked tongue,

218
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,800
bat-like wings, a long scaly tail

219
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,920
and thin insect-like legs.

220
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,800
I notice you've got lots of delicate
wingtips... Yeah.

221
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,560
..and tail tips and legs. There's
things like those legs are a
problem, yeah.

222
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,760
It's that balance of making sure
it's scary and a wonderful thing,

223
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,200
but also that it's a technical
engineering feat.

224
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:41,960
It's genuinely

225
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,240
disgusting and scary.

226
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,720
That's...Well, we were asked to be
scary.

227
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,120
What would his face look like?

228
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,880
And now the gargoyle?

229
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,400
Hey!

230
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,760
Lois is also going for the fear
factor,

231
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,360
but with a feminine twist.

232
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,200
My design is based on a mermaid or,
like, a siren.

233
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,520
People think mermaid's are, like,

234
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:05,560
really nice and just, like, a thing
that little kids like and stuff.

235
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,040
So, I'm quite excited to make

236
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,320
a fearsome mermaid.

237
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,080
Lois's siren of the sea will be
ominously crouched astride her tile,

238
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,840
clutching a fish to represent the
tortured souls of sailors

239
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,920
she's lured to a watery grave.

240
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,040
Is there gonna be much texture
involved?

241
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,920
I've made some little stamps for her
scales,

242
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,960
I've done, like, three different
sizes. Oh!

243
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,600
Oh, fantastic. So, that'll be all
over her skin.

244
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,680
The ridge tile's based on a book

245
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,000
because I felt like she's come out
of this book.

246
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,960
It's like it might have been left at
the bottom of the ocean, you know,

247
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,880
and all these barnacles and things
are sort of growing up from the book

248
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,880
and onto her arms and things like
that. OK.

249
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:41,920
It sounds great.

250
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,080
While Lois's siren celebrates
fearsome femininity...

251
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,040
This looks scary already, like,

252
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,520
just no head.

253
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:50,760
Hi. Hi, Helen. Hello.

254
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,600
Helen's gargoyle is most definitely
male.

255
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,080
He's a naked oboist.

256
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,120
Right.

257
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,440
Inspired by her oboe-playing past,

258
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,040
Helen's monstrous musician

259
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,680
features an ambitious amount of
sculpted detail,

260
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,840
including horrible horns, clawed
feet,

261
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,800
demonic eyes and scaly wings.

262
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,200
The wings are a little bit bigger
than they are on there,

263
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,120
cos I want it to be really imposing.

264
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,920
That's what I'm a bit worried about.

265
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,320
OK, yeah. They're quite susceptible
to warping, to cracking, to being...

266
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,080
Yeah. Course, yeah.

267
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,200
That's a nice bottom. Bit like mine,
actually, Siobhan.

268
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,080
Your oboe's the same as well, isn't
it?

269
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,720
Slightly less noisy.

270
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,400
I wish.

271
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,560
In contrast to Helen's complex
build,

272
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,320
Jon's is a lot less labour
intensive.

273
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,200
This is easy, I could do more of
this.

274
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,000
He's just,

275
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,640
he's made a snaky gargoyle and he's
just done it.

276
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:44,640
That's quite good fun, I've not used
an extruder before.

277
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:47,520
It's very efficient, I think it's a
good way of getting through,

278
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,480
getting through making things
relatively quickly.

279
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Jon's evil serpent will slither
atop his roof tile,

280
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,040
which he'll make to look like an
ancient book of mythology

281
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,680
using some very modern tools.

282
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,560
I've got loads of 3D printed kit,
again.

283
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,280
Wow. Wey, yes!

284
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,440
3D printed my life away.

285
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,680
I've just got a 3D printer. So, what
software do you use to model that?

286
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,880
Oh, my God, pottery, pottery!

287
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280
Sorry, sorry, sorry, we'll chat
later, Jon.

288
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,320
That's a very cute looking gargoyle,

289
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,080
what's his name? Cutie McCutie?

290
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,360
Syril the Snake, um...

291
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,400
Instilling fear into the hearts of
anyone who hears the name.

292
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,480
Fear Syril!

293
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,960
I think, Jon, your main worry is
making it, Syril, look scary.

294
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,360
So, good luck with it all, yeah.
Thanks very much. Scary, Jon, scary.

295
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,920
I'll try, I'll try.

296
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,960
Potters, you're halfway
through, halfway through.

297
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,480
You're halfway through. I thought
you came to give me good news.

298
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,680
With the clock ticking, the potters
must ensure

299
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,320
all their key components are made

300
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,080
so that they can dry, ready for the
refine stage.

301
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,440
Fangs.

302
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,520
These are my legs.

303
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,200
They're not really structural,
because they're so thin.

304
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,520
But the problem with those is,
being very thin

305
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:57,480
there's a chance that they'll just
be very brittle.

306
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Do you still play your oboe?

307
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,760
Since I've been potting

308
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,160
I haven't played so much. My God.

309
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,720
I was principal oboist in the
Bahamas Concert Orchestra.

310
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,720
What? I know, drop the mic.

311
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,840
But then I was the only oboist in
the Bahamas, so...

312
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:17,520


313
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:19,640
I want Lois to make my heads for me.

314
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,000
Look at that, it looks incredible,
dunnit?

315
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,120
So, is this the scariest thing you
could think of?

316
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,360
No, um, I quite like, uh, dragons.

317
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,640
You big old nerd.

318
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:30,960
Jon!

319
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,480
Found another geek for you!

320
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,560
How rude!

321
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,800
Those evenings will fly by.

322
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,600
Sorry guys, there's two of them now.

323
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,280
Really need to get on with this.

324
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,800
I'm trying to do a bloomin' head,
but

325
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,880
it's just turning out like a
dinosaur.

326
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,160
And Rebecca has given herself double
the work,

327
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,080
a two-headed gargoyle based on the
classic theme of good versus evil.

328
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,960
Perched on a tile representing
heaven and hell.

329
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,520
I got the idea from aboriginal
mythology,

330
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:01,600
they're called rainbow serpents.

331
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,160
So, I've got the aggressor and then
one head that's the protector.

332
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,800
To kind of mirror us all.

333
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,080
What am I?

334
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,640
Just the annoying bit.

335
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,840
You know what? It looks quite
slug-like.

336
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,160
I love that. Maybe that'll just be
it, like, ah.

337
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,360
I have a, a bad looking slug

338
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,240
with a gargoyle head, at the moment.

339
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,000
I'm not too impressed.

340
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,400
In the Gothic tradition,

341
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,040
Caitlin's designed a formidable
gargoyle to protect against evil

342
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,640
and she's equipped him to fight on
land, sea and air.

343
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,280
And does your gargoyle have a name?

344
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,640
It does, because we battle all the
different elements in Scotland,

345
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,840
it's gonna be called Gus.

346
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Excellent. Sounds good. Is Gus a
Scottish name?

347
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Well, I'm taking it short form
Angus.

348
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

349
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,680
Gus the
Gargoyle.

350
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Ah! Gus the Gargoyle.

351
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,880
It's almost like you cut off the
heads

352
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,200
and like, like garroted artery and,
like, it's pumping blood.

353
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,520
One hour left. Gee whiz.

354
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,120
The potters now face a race against
the clock,

355
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,880
to finish making every element
needed to construct their gargoyles.

356
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,200
I've not done wings this big before.

357
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,480
Little wings aren't gonna cut it.

358
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,600
These tubes are just very hard to
work with, they're very thin.

359
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,880
They work great in straight lines,

360
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,680
but they're struggling when it comes
to bending.

361
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,120
I'm hoping that even though my
gargoyle looks like a slug,

362
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,760
when I get the arms on it will come
together beautifully.

363
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,960
This is really hard,

364
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,320
I didn't anticipate this phase to be
so hard, actually.

365
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,720
What kind of face is your gargoyle
gonna have?

366
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,800
Kind of like...

367
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,240
While most of the potters forge
ahead with the assembly of their
creepy creations,

368
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,000
both Derek and George are yet to
begin.

369
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,880
These are my Anglerfish teeth.

370
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,800
I can feel it's silly, cos these are
delicate.

371
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,080
In a great big open hole, I mean
it's, I,

372
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,720
I, just feel this is the thing that
could go wrong.

373
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,280
I tried to put the body on.

374
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,200
No, too wet.

375
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,560
So, it's in the drying room.

376
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,880
I think what I might do is add tiles
to the entire roof,

377
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,640
rather than just carving them in.

378
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Just to get a little bit of more
detail

379
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,280
and possibly a bit more structural
integrity.

380
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,280
He's, he's looking like a slug at
the moment.

381
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,040
What have you based Gus on?

382
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,960
The ugliest thing that my brain
could conjure up, facial-wise.

383
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,040
Keith?

384
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,680
These heads, these are the most
integral part of the build.

385
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,440
The body's a bit too big.

386
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,720
It's just a disaster, the whole
thing.

387
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,480
Look at that arse.

388
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,440
Oh! I think I went out with him.

389
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,960
Potters, you've half an hour left.

390
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,960
I'm gonna go to the drying room

391
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,960
and slap the wings on, cos I'm
realising I'm running out of time.

392
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,120
Yeah, I think it will work, I just
need to get a move on, really.

393
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,800
In this time that I've got
remaining, I need to finish

394
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,400
my arms and claws and, actually, my
tail.

395
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,880
The master of evil himself.

396
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,400
The other symbol of utter terror and
horror...

397
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,640
..a book. A book, yes, yes.

398
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,600
And what would be in the book? Evil?

399
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,200
How to write a really strongly
worded letter, that really causes
deep down angst.

400
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,360
Well, that's not gonna happen, is
it?

401
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,360
It could do with being a little bit
bigger,

402
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,760
but if I put horns on and
everything, should be fine.

403
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,000
Oh, he's only got four fingers.

404
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,160
He's a Simpson.

405
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
One minute left, potters.

406
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,280
Oh, dear, his arm's dropped off.

407
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,040
Oh, my God, this weighs an absolute
tonne.

408
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,360
Are they the wings? They're the
wings,

409
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,440
they might get too hard if I leave
them in.

410
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,560
I'm not putting anything in the
drying room.

411
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,040
No, neither am I.

412
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,280
15 seconds.

413
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,280
Look as they scamper in fear and
terror.

414
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,360
Ah-ha-ha, Syril!

415
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,680
Five,

416
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:00,880
four,

417
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,200
three,

418
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,480
two,

419
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,400
one, that's it.

420
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,760
Potters, well done.

421
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,440
Have a break, potters dismissed.

422
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,640
It just looks like a slug.

423
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,480
But I know in the refine time,

424
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,720
it's gonna be head down,

425
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,280
gonna get all those details in

426
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,480
and it's gonna be smashing.

427
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,000
Overall, I think it went quite well.

428
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,040
She needs a face and a head and
that's make or break, I suppose.

429
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,080
She's gonna be frightful.

430
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,360
Well done. I know, it was really
hard that.

431
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,120
I really struggled with trying to
make mine look evil.

432
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,720
And looking round the room...

433
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,880
..never a good thing.

434
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,600
But I'm apprehensively positive,

435
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,800
going into the refine stage.

436
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,600

in...

437
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,680
As the potters wait for their
gargoyles to dry

438
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,160
ahead of the refine stage,

439
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,280
they face a monstrous second
challenge.

440
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,920
That looks rather large, as well,
doesn't it?

441
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,120
There's a big lump under there, is
that the clay?

442
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,880
And, as usual, it's a mystery hiding
under Hessian.

443
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,040
Potters, welcome back to your second
challenge.

444
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,360
Now this week we're keeping with the
theme of On The Roof.

445
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Oh! This week we are going to be
making...

446
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Oh, no.

447
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:14,840
..a chimney pot.

448
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,480
Oh, yeah.

449
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,240
That looks pretty amazing.

450
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,440
And here to give us a demo from
William Blyth Tile Works,

451
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,560
is master potter, Gabriel Nichols.

452
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,600
Oh, I've seen Gabriel.

453
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,800
Hello. Hi. I've seen him.

454
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,920
Gabriel has attracted an avid online
following,

455
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,560
who delight in watching him create
chimneys and pots,

456
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,840
using the time-honoured and
traditional methods

457
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,080
the William Blyth works have been
using since 1840.

458
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,160
Oh, my God. Oh, dear. Bex!

459
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,520
This is about 30lbs of clay.

460
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,720
40 kilos.

461
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,360
The clay I'm using

462
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,240
is a wild clay.

463
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,720
It's as dug,

464
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,360
we don't clean it, this is as it
comes out the ground.

465
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,440
Occasionally, you'll get bits of
grit in

466
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,480
and the odd Viking's toenail.

467
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,440
Now, you need to give the clay a
little bit of a slap and tickle just
to wake it up.

468
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,720
When you're centring and working
this clay,

469
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,600
bring it down, almost to the same
width as your Bat

470
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,040
and, because it's a chimney pot,
you're going straight down to the
wheel head.

471
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,920
You know, there's no base on this

472
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,520
and then you start to collar up.

473
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,680
So, I tend to scoop the clay and
pull it up like that.

474
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Keep your wheel fairly slow,

475
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,320
don't work too fast.

476
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:32,520
You saw the original chimney, it's
got a decoration,

477
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:33,680
which is formed out the rim.

478
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,480
So, you've gotta make sure that you
bring up enough clay,

479
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,120
so that you can form the decoration.

480
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,320
So, my thumb is going in there

481
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,480
and pulling a ribbon of clay down

482
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,360
and bring the top rim up and out a
little bit.

483
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,280
OK, so now

484
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,440
the decoration.

485
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,640
Oh, isn't that clever?

486
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,960
It's that part of the knuckle

487
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,280
and you're just rolling it.

488
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,240
And what would that design be
called?

489
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,200
So, in the South it would've been a
rope twist

490
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,160
and in the North, cos we like our
pies, it would've been a pie crust.

491
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,560
Right, that's the pot finished

492
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,160
and then we do the, the moulding.

493
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,280
I'm just literally pressing the
clay into this mould.

494
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,640
Don't press too hard.

495
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,360
There's three of these, try and get
them equidistant,

496
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,640
but you've gotta do it all by eye.

497
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,280
Right, done.

498
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,640
If you imagine, it's right upon the
roof,

499
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,960
so everything's almost gotta be
exaggerated.

500
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,720
It doesn't wanna be subtle.

501
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,720
You want the rim to be a good strong
rim,

502
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,040
you want straightness,

503
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,400
you wanna boss this clay, you've
gotta really push it and work it.

504
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,520
OK, thank you.

505
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,120
Keith, Rich and Gabriel, I'm gonna
send you off,

506
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,840
because this is going to be judged
blind.

507
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,160
So, we'll see you later on.

508
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,440
Potters, back to your benches.

509
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,480
You have been given 30 minutes

510
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,000
to make and decorate your chimney
pot.

511
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,920
And your time starts...

512
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,480
..now. Remove the Hessian.

513
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,840
Oh, my God.

514
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,040
Three times bigger than I've ever
thrown before. Ah, I can't even pick
it up.

515
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,240
We can only give it a go, can't we?

516
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,320
Uh!

517
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,560
This is like the size of my head.

518
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,840
I'm excited.

519
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,280
Look at that.

520
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,600
Oh! It's gonna be very formal, very
tidy.

521
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,760
No flamboyance.

522
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,520
Is it really heavy? I haven't
really...

523
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,400
..had a good go at it yet.

524
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,360
Oh, but it is a big boy.

525
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,720
Oh, all right, I'll leave you
grunting.

526
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,640
You're doing great.

527
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,880
I think.

528
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,200
It's a bit gritty,

529
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,800
but it's quite nice. What could go
wrong?

530
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,560
The Bat's not on.

531
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,280
I'm already tired.

532
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,640
My arms are already aching.

533
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,560
Bugger it, let's use the other one.

534
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,120
Good to get height, but it will get
more

535
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,520
comments for being decorated.

536
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,880
Oh! Oh!

537
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,600
I keep forgetting to breathe.

538
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,200
Will you die doing this?

539
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,640
Well, hopefully I'll pass out onto
the clay, so

540
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,920
that'll soften the blow as I go
unconscious.

541
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,040
Oh, definitely found some of those
Viking's toenails.

542
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,280
Oh, gosh, it's huge.

543
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,560
It's lovely clay.

544
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,000
It smells a bit.

545
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,520
Mm, clay does. Yeah.

546
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,160
It smells really earthy.

547
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,960
Does it smell? No.

548
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,640
You've got the good clay then? Yeah.

549
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,440
I need to try and get it up, should
we try and go in?

550
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,200
He used his thumb, so I'm gonna try
that.

551
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,440
I'm putting all my weight into it
and it's not opening.

552
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,600
How'd you get your thumbs in, they
only go that much?

553
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,360
You have to more like get your
whole arm in there.

554
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,960
OK, I've got the wheel head.

555
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,600
It's like a flipping car tyre, it's
huge.

556
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,600
Argh!

557
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Oh!

558
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,560
Potters, you're halfway
through.

559
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,720
Halfway through.

560
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,480
I'm getting a bit of height now,
aren't I? Now I'm back in the room.

561
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,080
Hello, Siobhan. Oh, hey, hey.

562
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:01,800
Nice, calm, neat.

563
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,320
Could you pretend to be chaotic?

564
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:04,840
I don't wanna ruin it.

565
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,640
Maybe just facially?

566
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,880
Uh...

567
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:14,840
I don't wanna touch it! I don't...

568
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,000
That's all my strength!

569
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,160
It's not even fully down.

570
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,800
How did he get this up?

571
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,840
All the hard work to date could be
lost if you make a mistake now.

572
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,080
Just going around in circles.

573
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:31,960
I don't want it to go out.

574
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,600
There we go, that's better.

575
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,440
Doing quite well before, but it's
really starting to,

576
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,200
starting to go.

577
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,240
Ah, no..

578
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,640
What, what's the time?

579
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,000
So, you've ten minutes left.

580
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,720
Ten minutes left.

581
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:46,800
Oh, bugger!

582
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,880
Well, I've got some height, I'm
just trying to split the rim.

583
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,920
I've never split a rim like this
before.

584
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,840
We're gonna get that big accentuated
rim that he was talking about.

585
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,920
We love a rim.

586
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,600
Oh, James has finished.

587
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Oh, bugger off, James.

588
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,520
I love you all.

589
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,680
It's a bit...

590
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,320
..flamboyant, isn't it? Yeah, it is.

591
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:07,480
It's sort of gone that way again,
hasn't it, I think

592
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,080
that's my excuse for gravity having
an effect.

593
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:11,440
You just can't help your
flamboyance.

594
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,000
Just trying to get another
little tiny bit of height out of it,

595
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,240
before I then decorate it.

596
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,840
I think it's time to knuckle it.

597
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,160
How did he do that pinch-y bit?

598
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,440
The crimping's quite different to
his.

599
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,760
Wasn't really sure of the movement.

600
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,120
My decoration.

601
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,200
Now I've just gotta tidy up the pot
and

602
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,600
make it look nice.

603
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,520
That's a delicate one, isn't it?

604
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,840
Never mind.

605
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,600
I've still gotta do the roses,
actually.

606
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,920
Oh, there's a lot to do in this.

607
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,720
God!

608
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,240
I don't even know, like, I can't
even get the Bat off.

609
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,120
There's nothing to get the...

610
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,480
I can feel the tears again.

611
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,240
Can't get it off.

612
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,680
Don't worry, Bex.

613
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,520
Potters, you're on the
last minute now.

614
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,960
Last minute.

615
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,240
Gosh, my walls are really thick.

616
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,680
I'm, I don't quite look like his,
but they look like something

617
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,760
and they look consistent.

618
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,000
Is it level? I think I'm going lower
down each time, but hey ho...

619
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,600
I will never look at a chimney in
the same way again.

620
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,040
Ten, nine, eight,

621
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,560
seven, six, five,

622
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,240
four, three, two,

623
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,400
one, potters, finito.

624
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,800
Put down the clay.

625
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,200
I think you can buy chimneys, can't
you?

626
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,560
Babe, don't worry, it's
just a lump of clay.

627
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,960
Honestly.

628
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,400
And your gargoyle's gonna be
amazing.

629
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,800
OK, if you could bring up your
chimney pots

630
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,080
to you corresponding ware board.

631
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:43,920
Why did you put us at the back?

632
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,120
Oh, I'm good to go, just go.

633
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,440
Oh! Oh!

634
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,640
Oh, my God.

635
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,800
Oh, my God.

636
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,280
Gabriel will now blind judge the
chimney pots.

637
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,480
Wow!

638
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,840
He's looking for clean, straight
sides,

639
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,040
good solid rims,

640
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,560
with nicely defined and proportioned
decoration.

641
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Some amazing chimney pots.

642
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,760
Nice flower pot.

643
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,200
Love it!

644
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,280
Listen, Gabriel's been doing this
for 40 years.

645
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,320
You just merely having a go is just
fantastic.

646
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,080
You're an inspiration, really.

647
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:21,120
Shall we start at this end? Yeah.

648
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,880
Decoration hasn't quite worked, a
bit over-worked in a sense.

649
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,640
Looks kind of more upright than
the... Yeah.

650
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,600
Yeah, you haven't really got the
motion

651
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,040
of pulling it through.

652
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,080
The mouldings are all right. Could
do with a bit more definition
there. Yeah.

653
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:35,880
Someone obviously really struggled
with that. Yeah, I mean it's a heavy
weight.

654
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,040
Even for a normal apprentice, you
wouldn't be approaching this weight
for at least five years.

655
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,320
It looked like it was going in the
right direction.

656
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:43,640
The width was right

657
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,960
and, in fact, the distribution of
clay is right.

658
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,840
You just have to get that second
pull.

659
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,880
That weight of clay will naturally
want to spin out

660
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,520
and you've gotta keep it in.

661
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,920
This one's good, it's a bit heavy

662
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,040
but that's OK.

663
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,680
And the mouldings are quite good.

664
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,200
Your decoration, it's quite uniform.

665
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,360
Good strong rim, isn't it, on that
one? Very strong rim.

666
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,880
That's a, that's a nice rim.

667
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,920
That does resemble a chimney pot.

668
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,120
OK. Excellent flower pot.

669
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,960
I suppose that's a good example of

670
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,560
losing that control of the speed of
the wheel.

671
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,400
Yeah, so there you can obviously see

672
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,800
the weight of the clay and it's
started to spin out

673
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,440
and they haven't been able to, sort
of, pull it back in again.

674
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,560
Good decoration,

675
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,760
just needs to be a bit closer
together.

676
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,040
The rim, it's a little bit
peely-wally -

677
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,560
that's weak.

678
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,000
And, again, the decoration -

679
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,240
it's gone a bit too thin and then
when you folded it, it's torn.

680
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,360
Quite a nice, straight-sided form...
Yeah, no, it's a good pot.

681
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,640
Moving on. Superb.

682
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,400
Even decoration.

683
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,280
It's very well thrown, really, isn't
it? It is.

684
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The moulding's
better than my one, I think.

685
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,560
It's a really well made pot.

686
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,360
The width has stopped you bringing
and gathering the clay in to form
that rim.

687
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,480
So, you haven't really got much of a
rim.

688
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,880
Decoration's good.

689
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,760
Bit heavy, just needs a bit more,
sort of, being a bit tidier,

690
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,080
but no, it's a good pot.

691
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,760
I like this, I quite like the rim.

692
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,640
I was just gonna say that, I quite
like the flare on that. Yes.

693
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,160
Not what we asked for, but I like
it.

694
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,040
I think I might have to copy that
bit.

695
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,360
And it works quite well with the
decoration.

696
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,360
So, yeah, I mean overall, I'm well
impressed.

697
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,640
Now, Gabriel, Keith and Rich will
rank the potters' chimneys

698
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,760
from bottom to top.

699
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,080
Gabriel, would you do the honours?

700
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,320
Well, number eight

701
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,040
is this one, who's number eight?

702
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,120
It's actually, it's quite a well
made pot.

703
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,440
Certainly managed to pull up, to
some degree,

704
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,040
you can see the height there.

705
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,040
Number seven. Jon.

706
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,720
A brilliant pot, just not a chimney
pot.

707
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,720
Would you say it's flamboyant?

708
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,240
It is quite flamboyant, yeah, yeah.

709
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,800
You know, it's good, you've
controlled the clay to some degree,

710
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,640
just not in the right way that we
wanted you to.

711
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,920
In sixth place it's Derek.

712
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,080
Fifth place it's Lois.

713
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,440
In fourth, Helen

714
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,640
and third Caitlin.

715
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,040
Number two,

716
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,400
the one that I'm gonna copy. George.

717
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,800
I like that. It's not what we
requested but

718
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,720
because it's so nice, we'll let you
by on that one.

719
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,160
And the decoration, it's very bold.
That's a decent chimney pot.

720
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,280
And then number one.

721
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,040
James.

722
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,360
Almost perfect.

723
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,960
Very good decoration.

724
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,960
The moulding's good, decent rim,

725
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,280
it's a straight pot, you know, that
looks like a chimney pot.

726
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,400
Congratulations, James, you're Top
of the Pots.

727
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,960
Bloody, James.

728
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,320
Trouble is

729
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,480
we'd hate him, but he's such a nice
guy.

730
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,560
He's lovely.

731
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,440
He was very complimentary about my
rim.

732
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,520
That's an honour that someone who's
done it forty years

733
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,120
wants to copy my rim, so that's,
that's really sweet.

734
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,160
It has put me in a vulnerable spot,
but,

735
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,320
I feel like I'm growing.

736
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,360
So, even if it means crying through
it all,

737
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,280
I am still learning.

738
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,960
Let's hope the gargoyle is still
intact...

739
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,920
..or else there'll be more Timmy
Tears coming along.

740
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,880
With chimney making behind them,

741
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,920
the potters are now back to their
now leather-hard gargoyles...

742
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,720
Are they supposed to weigh this
much?

743
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,200
..which they have to finish
assembling and decorating.

744
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,920
I've got lots of bits.

745
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,880
It's gonna need quite a lot of
putting together.

746
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,480
The more time you spend putting
together, the less time you spend
doing that lovely detail.

747
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,880
I think he will end up not looking
quite as evil as maybe the, the aim
was.

748
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,080
So, I think I'll try and get that a
bit more, sort of, scary looking,
so...

749
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,840
Yeah, I'll do what I can in that
time.

750
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,760
It's not coming off, is it?

751
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,120
I'm really hoping my little oboist

752
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,840
will come to life, but in a really
nasty way.

753
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,520
Welcome back, potters.

754
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,800
Your gargoyles and apex roof tiles
have been drying

755
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,240
and are now leather-hard and ready
to be decorated.

756
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,120
This is where you create all that
intricate carving and surface detail

757
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,560
that we've asked you for.

758
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,000
But be careful,

759
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,760
because at this stage any mishaps
can't always be easily undone.

760
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,720
So, take your time and think
precision and perfection.

761
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:06,120
You only have two and a half hours
to refine and decorate your pieces.

762
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,360
Your time starts

763
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,720
now.

764
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,360
My to-do list is get all the bits
on,

765
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,640
decorate the body

766
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,680
and then decorate the tile.

767
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,200
Looks like a cow, doesn't it?

768
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,040
From this angle.

769
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,920
A large mythical cow.

770
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,560
I'm just texturing these wings.

771
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,760
I really wanted to go dramatic, so,

772
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,800
just tried the extra large.

773
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,360
That's what I'm worried about, these
are so heavy

774
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,400
that they might pull off the back
of the gargoyle.

775
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,160
James has also made a start on the
scales of his dragon,

776
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,320
emerging from stone.

777
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,880
I'm gonna get all the texture on
first. I'm tearing the bits of clay
and sticking them on.

778
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,120
But once I've done this,

779
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,480
I'll feel better,

780
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,520
cos it'll feel like it's starting to
come alive.

781
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,280
I do realise there's no face.

782
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,760
I'll worry about the face
afterwards.

783
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,240
Before George can breathe life into
his Anglerfish,

784
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,120
there's the small matter of
assembly.

785
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,400
Some people have already got things
that look like gargoyles.

786
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,440
I've got to put my whole gargoyle
together.

787
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,880
Haven't even thought about all the
teeth I need to put in, how long
that's gonna take.

788
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,200
It'll all come together.

789
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,840
And stress is a great motivator,
when it comes down to it.

790
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,280
So, I need to just refine this boy.

791
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,880
I'll try not to break anything.

792
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,160
I've got a tray of bits, that appear
to be

793
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,560
coming together as a thing.

794
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,520
Derek also has some way to go in
creating his nightmarish gargoyle.

795
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,080
I'm concentrating on scary, cos
that's,

796
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,440
that's my thing.

797
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,320
I'm not sure about his legs, I need
to refine these a bit.

798
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,040
The judges are looking for imposing
and frightening forms.....

799
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,480
It's got a vicious looking face on
it now, so I'm quite...

800
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,960
The eyes look quite scary.

801
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,080
..with plenty of character and
detail.

802
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,320
She's coming to life now and she's
looking scary.

803
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,720
Any detail that we want to show,

804
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,240
we've really gotta get that in now,
so,

805
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,600
it's just going as fast as I can, I
think.

806
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,840
I've really enjoyed, lately, trying
to get better at

807
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,120
getting effect and creating things
with as little

808
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,160
touching of the clay as I can.

809
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,400
To see it all coming together is
really, really nice.

810
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,720
Can see that it's getting some
texture and there's actually a
gargoyle here now.

811
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,720
While Lois's siren takes shape,

812
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,800
Gus has some identity issues to
resolve.

813
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,160
I wish my gargoyle didn't look like
a slug.

814
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,280
This is what I'm really worried
about, so because there's no
decoration,

815
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,760
there's literally nowhere to hide.

816
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,160
What you see right now is what
you're gonna get if I don't get a
move on

817
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,280
and get it looking good.

818
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,200
Hopefully, once we've got the wings
on then he goes from slug to
gargoyle.

819
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,360
These faces need a bit of refining.

820
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,080
It's just balancing how much time
you're spending on every element.

821
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,280
Because I don't wanna spend too much
time, but the faces are crucial.

822
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,760
I mean, it just looks rubbish,
dunnit?

823
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,320
How're you getting on, George? All
right, um,

824
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,000
it's, uh... It's on. It's on.

825
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,800
And it's got one big hole in,

826
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,200
um... OK, OK.

827
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,760
You've got quite a lot of appendages
here.

828
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,240
I've got a lot to get on before I
start... You've got a lot do,
haven't you?

829
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,800
Yeah. ..refining and... Being a
dentist, as well.

830
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,280
Yeah. Wow. It's a bit, sort of,
grouper-y at the moment, without any
teeth.

831
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,600
And those eyes are gonna go here.

832
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,400
Isn't it incredible, though, how
expressive clay can be?

833
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,720
Yeah. You know you just put a little
indentation in there

834
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,760
and then all of a sudden you've...
That's why modelling's brilliant,
because it's just...

835
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,760
Yeah, it's lovely, and it's
immediate, isn't it? Yeah.

836
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,440
Well, look, I mean, you loved last
week,

837
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,720
you're loving this week.

838
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,120
Uh, well... I'm loving you loving
it.

839
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,560
One hour left potters,

840
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:43,680
one hour left.

841
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,280
He looks like a little cherub angel.

842
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,400
Aw!

843
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,080
Put the wings on and he transformed
from a slug into a gargoyle.

844
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,080
He's just a caterpillar evolving
into his butterfly.

845
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,360
I'm so emotional.

846
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,840
This bit and that's me done,

847
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,440
that's it, done.

848
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,960
Wey!

849
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:13,240
How can I make it look scary, like
that?

850
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,600
Don't have his whole eye open, like,

851
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,200
you want to see, like, a half
semi-circle.

852
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:20,080
Yeah, yeah!

853
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,560
She's good, isn't she?

854
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,080
He looks a bit like...

855
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:27,160
Don't you think?

856
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,280
Hello, James. Hi, Rich, how are you?

857
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,520
I'm all right. More to the point,
how are you? I'm, yeah, all right.

858
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,720
I would've liked it to be a little
bigger, maybe, but...

859
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,320
Yeah, I was gonna say, you happy
with

860
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,880
how the proportions are all coming
together?

861
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,480
At one minute, at first I was gonna
have it coming out more.

862
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,080
Well, hopefully, you know, you can
build some terror into that

863
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,760
small but perfectly formed face.
Yeah, exactly.

864
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,560
You want to be scared by those
little features, James.

865
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,600
At the start I think I hid it well,

866
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,960
but I was a little bit doubtful

867
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,120
as to whether Syril would instil
fear. Win the fear.

868
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,760
But actually he looks quite
ferocious now.

869
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,680
Are these the things that made all
the nice things? Yes.

870
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:05,200
Yeah, the texture comes out quite
well from that.

871
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:06,320
Oh, that's cool.

872
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,040
That is cool. Thank you. Bye-bye,
Syril.

873
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,960
Bye.

874
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,160
Yeah, that one didn't sound very
good, did it?

875
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:18,600
Right, I'm happy with those.

876
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,600
I just need to stick them on.

877
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,800
Oh...

878
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,040
I can't do the scary faces.

879
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,680
Trying to make facial
expressions with a dragon

880
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:35,920
I don't think would be easy to do,
so I'm knocking that on the head.

881
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,240
It's gonna be lots of teeth.

882
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,640
More of a science-fiction feel to
it, possibly?

883
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,080
I don't know!

884
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,360
Still the teeth are out of the
mouth.

885
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,720
It's the old haste and speed thing,
isn't it? Yeah.

886
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,000
See, that's your problem, George,
you're always rushing.

887
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,600
What, is that a crack?

888
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,240
I think it is a crack.

889
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:59,040
You really have got to make just
quick fire decisions.

890
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,480
Well done, Bex.

891
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,640
It's looking great.

892
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,920
Come on, we can do this.

893
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,720
Got some grotesque gargoyles on the
go.

894
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,560
Look at Derek's. Yeah.

895
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,320
I'm doing me legs, I mean they look
ridiculous, but

896
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,520
creepy and that's the plan.

897
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,000
Well, what I think will happen is
those legs will dry very quickly

898
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,120
and that apex tile and the body will
dry far more slowly. That's right.

899
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,880
It could have broken legs.

900
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,080
Come on, you bugger.

901
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,520
James's gargoyle is looking great.

902
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:30,960
Wha...?

903
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,720
What is this?

904
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:33,880
Nightmares.

905
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,160
I just wonder if it's a bit too
small?

906
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,800
Helen's is looking great.

907
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,640
The moment she put those wings on...

908
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,680
Yeah. ..it really, sort of, came to
life.

909
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:43,480
Bit susceptible to cracking, maybe?

910
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,440
Hello, Eve, good Lord almighty!

911
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,320
Lois is looking good.

912
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,720
Oh!

913
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,040
The proportions look like they're
working well.

914
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,680
Oh, no!

915
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:56,240
I've never done this before, not on
this scale.

916
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,040
Dipping the ends of each tooth into
slip

917
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,000
and just hoping that a double slip
will old them all in place.

918
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,880
I mean, George has got so much going
on there.

919
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,000
George's mouth is quite clever

920
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,640
because it's kind of still got
structure with the teeth

921
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,640
and it lets all the air in and out.
Exactly.

922
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,120
I'm a bit concerned about, Rebecca's
proportions are overall quite small.

923
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,080
I don't think it looks as scary as
everybody else's.

924
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,040
Potters, you've ten
minutes left.

925
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,800
Time is of the essence.

926
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,080
I'm really pleased with how these
little stamps I've made are working.

927
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,640
It's a barnacle.

928
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,360
Wow, look at those teeth.

929
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:37,240
If I get time, I'll do a similar
effect on the ridge tile,

930
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,720
just to try and link the gargoyle to
the ridge tile a little bit more.

931
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,840
Oh, should I give him a scar down
his eye?

932
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,560
Everybody's doing amazing things.

933
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,560
See, I've only just lifted my head
and it's like, oh...

934
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,800
..sorry!

935
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,560
Potters, one and a half
minutes left.

936
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,960
I can't be upset with that.

937
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,920
Start putting your gargoyles into
the drying room, please.

938
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,920
Oh, wow, George.

939
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,520
Six. I can do it, I can do it.

940
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:04,920
Five.

941
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,520
Four.

942
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,880
Thought it was gonna fit. Here you
go. Thanks.

943
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,680
OK, come on. Three.

944
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:13,120
Run, Forrest, run! Two.

945
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,720
One, well done.

946
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,680
Well done, what a day. You've done
really, really well.

947
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:22,720
Potters dismissed.

948
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:25,440
Mine looks like me, doesn't she?

949
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,400
So, I focussed on the scary, so if
he comes through,

950
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,760
I hope his scariness will

951
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,120
see me through.

952
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,040
Gus, hang in there, you've got this.

953
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,440
I've got this.

954
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,520
And we'll be back after the firing
so, yeah.

955
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,040
It's judgement day...

956
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,280
Are we ready? Yeah.

957
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,040
..and the potters are about to
discover

958
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,200
if their gargoyles have survived
their 24-hour firing.

959
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:00,720
He's great. Oh, brilliant. Yes!

960
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,720
Oh, man. Look at that! Yeah!

961
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,520
Lois... Oh, God...

962
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,840
Yes!

963
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,600
It's all, it's all kept together.

964
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,080
Quite a big crack at the back.

965
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,480
But everyone's got a big crack at
the back, haven't they?

966
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,840
The potters now have 30 minutes to
prepare their beasts for judging.

967
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:24,960
It's come out nicely.

968
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,520
It has come out with cracks,
everybody's' come out with cracks.

969
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,480
There's a few stress cracks.

970
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,920
A bit of his tail's come off

971
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,080
and one of his legs is broken.

972
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,000
They've been given black wash to
create the lived-in look

973
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,880
you'd expect from a centuries-old
gargoyle.

974
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,560
So, it's basically like a stain.

975
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,640
It makes it look, sort of, old and
weathered.

976
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,520
Looking like it has been up there
for a couple hundred years at least.

977
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,640
Oh, my God, it's really black.

978
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,600
It'll just, sort of, sit in all the
crevices,

979
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,720
so when you sponge it back it will
just enhance all those surface
details.

980
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,120
I kinda want to just give him a
shower, to be honest.

981
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,800
Trying not to get it on too thickly.

982
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,360
But I'm going to just sponge lightly
at the front,

983
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,560
because I don't really wanna knock
any teeth out.

984
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,080
Just trying to make sure I get
enough

985
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,000
black into all the barnacle areas.

986
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,080
There's a creature coming out of a
stone gargoyle,

987
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,720
so if I can wipe off as much as
possible off the bottom

988
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,360
and keep this creature quite dark,
hopefully you'll be able to see
that.

989
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,120
It was really hard to get the teeth
done, I had to shake into the mouth,
kind of thing.

990
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,160
OK, I'm done.

991
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,600
He's a good boy, aren't you? Good
boy!

992
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,000
Done as much as I can, I think, now,
so it's down to what the judges
feel.

993
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,960
By no means am I safe,

994
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
but I'm pleased with what I've made.

995
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,080
That's all the potters can do.

996
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,000
Now, their gargoyles must face the
evil eye of the judges.

997
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,200
Caitlin, would you please bring your
gargoyle up to be judged.

998
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,080
All right wee man?

999
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,400
Caitlin.

1000
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,520
Your attention to detail is just
absolutely brilliant.

1001
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,920
We've seen your modelling skills
before.

1002
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,480
They're fantastic.

1003
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:16,880
The face itself

1004
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,680
is just amazing, I just love that
scar.

1005
00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:22,200
I just love that scar across his
eye.

1006
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,640
It just really, sort of, brings the
whole thing

1007
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:25,840
extra character.

1008
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,560
The ridge tile has spread

1009
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,960
ever so slightly, that must be under
the weight.

1010
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,400
But I really love it.

1011
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,920
The level of detail you've managed
to build into it

1012
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,280
is incredible.

1013
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,600
There's just loads to see.

1014
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,560
How did you feel about making it?

1015
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,080
We had some ups and downs, me and
Gus.

1016
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,760
I thought it looked a lot like a
slug for a long time

1017
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,520
and then I started adding bits to it
and it sort of brought together.

1018
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,800
It's just a really, really nicely
considered piece.

1019
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,040
Lovely.

1020
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,720
Thank you very much. Well done,
thank you. Thank you.

1021
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,400
The gargoyle itself is wonderfully
constructed.

1022
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,520
I love what you've done down here
on the tile itself.

1023
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,920
It's just really, really wonderfully
executed.

1024
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,240
All of the detail you've managed to
put in is great.

1025
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,280
It's the pellets, the little pellets
of clay that you've smeared on.

1026
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:20,160
It's genius, what a fantastic way of
creating, kind of, a really
beautifully rich surface

1027
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,200
that feels like a scale.

1028
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:25,200
It would've been nice to have seen
it slightly larger. Yep.

1029
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:26,760
More of a statement piece.

1030
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,280
I know you had some

1031
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,480
issues with the head.

1032
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,680
You remodelled the head, didn't you?
Yeah, I didn't know how to make it
look scary,

1033
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:35,880
so I just scrapped it completely
and tried to produce something a bit
more freaky.

1034
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,040
Certainly done that.

1035
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,800
Quite scary.

1036
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,160
That's come from your imagination,
which is...

1037
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,120
..quite something really there,
James.

1038
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,200
He does look pretty terrifying.

1039
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:56,640
You've got some real movement and
some real depth in that face.

1040
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:57,920
It's really quite demonic,

1041
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,840
which is fantastic and that black
pigment has only accentuated all
that mark-making.

1042
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,240
I love the energy that you've
managed to put into the wings,

1043
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,680
the scoring and the line-work you've
put up the back

1044
00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:08,920
is absolutely beautiful.

1045
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,280
It makes them really feel like
they're being extended, almost ready
for flight.

1046
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,280
I'm amazed that the wings stayed on,

1047
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,120
that's what I was really worried
about.

1048
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,840
I think you've been very brave

1049
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,720
to, kind of, create such fine
detail and fine elements in
something that's

1050
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,960
still, as an object, quite big and
quite bold.

1051
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:29,600
What I love most is

1052
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,480
the way you've treated the clay,

1053
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,680
because, actually, the way the, sort
of, sausage has started to deform,

1054
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,880
that tube that you've made has just
given way and started to move.

1055
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,200
It really feels like a snake leaving
the ground... It's got, like, shape
now.

1056
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:43,200
..it feels really true and really
accurate.

1057
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,400
It just looks really effective.

1058
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,360
I love the 3D printed roller, I
think that's where...

1059
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:48,800
Course you do, Rich.

1060
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,160
You know, we will have a chat about
the 3D printing later.

1061
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,040
But I just think that's worked
beautifully well,

1062
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,080
it's a really simple texture,

1063
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,480
but you've applied it really, really
perfectly.

1064
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,920
It's just lovely to see you, sort
of, coming into this, kind of,

1065
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,600
"Oh, I have got an imagination

1066
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,720
"and I can put it into clay."

1067
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,400
It's incredible, you've managed to
get

1068
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,840
a lot of energy in there.

1069
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:21,000
A lot of life, a lot of definition
on the scales and on the actual apex
tile itself.

1070
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,680
The general construction

1071
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:24,240
looks really, really good.

1072
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,560
The scale of it, you would notice
that up on a roof.

1073
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,440
Warding off evil spirits.

1074
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,000
Well, warding off anyone, really.
Yeah. She's pretty scary.

1075
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,920
I think because she's, sort of,
perched over

1076
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,520
and she's, kind of, holding the
lower aspects of the tile,

1077
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,520
it's kind of holding the structure
in, which is really wise.

1078
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,880
I just have to admire the sheer
volume of work.

1079
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,440
The surfaces, the texture that
you've created.

1080
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,440
I love the little details, like the
fact that you've just hollowed out
the eyes,

1081
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,440
so they create this, sort of, dark
recess,

1082
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:51,720
because it's really menacing

1083
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,560
and it's just a great way to create
character and depth.

1084
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,640
It's a really, really wonderful
piece.

1085
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,240
It's a wonderful gargoyle.

1086
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,360
I can't see any kind of apparent
cracks or breakages,

1087
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:12,720
apart from the tail.

1088
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,040
Thank you, Keith.

1089
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,920
Perhaps, just the overall scale...

1090
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,120
Yeah. ..is maybe lacking slightly.

1091
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,440
Whether it would provide that
imposing silhouette up on the roof,
I don't know... Yeah.

1092
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,760
..whether you'd, kind of, lose some
of the detail.

1093
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,640
Yeah, the scale, but I just love
this as a sculptural piece.

1094
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,360
I mean just as a general question -

1095
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,080
have you learnt much about yourself?

1096
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,920
Gosh, yeah. I've learnt that putting
my personality into my pieces is,
actually,

1097
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,000
everything.

1098
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,920
Don't hold back, Rebecca.

1099
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,040
Never hold back on your,

1100
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:42,880
your character, cos it's fantastic,

1101
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,160
it's really, really wonderful. Thank
you.

1102
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:45,560
Thank you very much. Yeah.

1103
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,840
It's certainly substantial, Derek.
Yeah.

1104
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,080
And it's pretty scary, I would say.

1105
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,520
It's completely bonkers.

1106
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,040
I was nervous

1107
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,120
about the legs and how thin and how
fine they were.

1108
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:04,320
There's a few snaps.

1109
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,800
You have got a few stress problems
here with the legs.

1110
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,920
If you were to do it again maybe,
possibly, you'd make those legs
slightly thicker.

1111
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,040
They do look as though they've just
been, sort of, stuck on there.

1112
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,760
Some bits are very obviously not as
good as others.

1113
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,280
But, I love the roof tile details.

1114
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,160
That has just added so much, it
really plants it on the ridge tile,

1115
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,520
which is really quite lovely.

1116
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,800
And what it does is it adds to the
story.

1117
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,440
You can see that the gargoyle is
landed and perched on that roof

1118
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,560
and it's broken those roof tiles and
it's looking down into your bedroom,

1119
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,080
um, when you were a kid.

1120
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,640
And there is a real energy to it

1121
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,160
and it's big and imposing.

1122
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,120
You surprise me every week.

1123
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,280
My God, this is...it's fantastic,
George.

1124
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:53,880
It's absolutely wonderful.

1125
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,880
The concept is fantastic

1126
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,080
and the execution isn't half bad
either.

1127
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,120
It's wonderfully expressive.

1128
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,480
The texture you've used on the fish
itself

1129
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:08,720
just really, really comes to life
and these wing like, sort of, fins
that you've got on the side

1130
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,640
hold the whole structure in place.

1131
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,360
It's incredibly imposing

1132
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,200
and to get all those teeth on there,

1133
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:18,160
just show real tenacity and real,
sort of, well, sheer hard work.

1134
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,120
Did you run out of time for the
tile, or...

1135
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,240
Yeah. Yeah. It's a bit of a shame,
but... Was those teeth that did
it. Yeah, that's it.

1136
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,040
Meticulously sticking in tooth after
tooth. I was having too much fun.

1137
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,720
Yeah, that tile is a little on the
plain side,

1138
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,440
but my God have you made up for it
in the fish itself.

1139
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,160
Brilliant. Thank you. Well done,
George, thanks.

1140
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,160
It's amazing what you achieve with

1141
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,720
some determination, to do justice to
some of these wicked animals.

1142
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,600
I've actually had really good fun.

1143
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,840
A gargoyle needs to be scary,

1144
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,000
so I didn't hit the brief in that
respect.

1145
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,280
There were a few negatives.

1146
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,400
My legs snapped.

1147
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,720
But I would be hopeful I've done
enough to stay in.

1148
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,320
I mean, if I'm going, which I think
I am,

1149
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,840
um, I'm going on a high,

1150
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,280
um, and that's,

1151
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:04,440
that's enough for me.

1152
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,040
It was fun, it was fun, wasn't it?

1153
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,000
It was fun, it was the funniest one.

1154
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,360
Yeah. It was really fun. It was,
wasn't it?

1155
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,920
Definitely the funniest thing we've
done.

1156
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,280
We're halfway through already, can
you believe it?

1157
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,680
And we're up on the roof with
gargoyles and chimney pots.

1158
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:26,560
Whose gargoyles really spoke to you
today?

1159
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,360
Well, Lois's.

1160
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,400
I mean that was incredible.

1161
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:31,760
Crikey!

1162
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,560
It just had such energy, such life.

1163
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,800
She just treated every single
surface

1164
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,520
and the quality of the build,
overall, was just really on point.

1165
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,160
Another one, though, was George.

1166
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,280
All that expression... Yes.
..within that fish

1167
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,080
and that demon, sort of, eye coming
forward.

1168
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,840
But why didn't he decorate the tile?

1169
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,720
And Caitlin? I think her gargoyle
showed a real confidence in the
making.

1170
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,520
The apex tile had spread a little
bit

1171
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,720
because of the, kind of, lopsided
nature of the build

1172
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,240
but that's a fairly minor thing, it
was all well put together.

1173
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,080
Caitlin does seem to be coming
really into her own,

1174
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,200
she seems to be really relaxing into
her own talent.

1175
00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:08,040
Who do you think

1176
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:09,760
could be in trouble?

1177
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:14,240
Well, Rebecca. The overall
proportions of the tile to the body
of the gargoyle... Yeah.

1178
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,480
..weren't quite there. Yeah.

1179
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,240
I mean, she came eighth in the
second challenge.

1180
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,880
Yeah. It, it wasn't a great second
challenge for her.

1181
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,240
Who else do you think may be further
down the list?

1182
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:25,960
Derek's was scary

1183
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,280
and it was imposing.

1184
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,840
It just lacked that technical skill

1185
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,320
of actually understanding what the
clay is gonna be doing when it dries
out.

1186
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,480
Sounds like you have a difficult
decision to make,

1187
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,520
I will go and have a cuppa tea

1188
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,440
and see you out on the tiles, huh?

1189
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,400
He-he. On the, on the roof tiles?

1190
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,480
I'll see you up on the roof,

1191
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:46,960
where there are tiles...

1192
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,760
Well done, potters, on another
fantastic week.

1193
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,040
And thank you for showing us what

1194
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,120
dark and twisted people you are.

1195
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,000
After a long deliberation

1196
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,200
the judges have come to a decision.

1197
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,120
This week's Potter of the Week is...

1198
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,480
..Lois.

1199
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,360
Well done.Well done.

1200
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,280
Well done.

1201
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:32,680
Really well done.

1202
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:34,200
Thank you. Thanks, guys.

1203
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,560
And now the really awful bit.

1204
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,360
Unfortunately, we have to send
somebody from the pottery today.

1205
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,280
The person who will be leaving us
is...

1206
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:50,680
..Rebecca.

1207
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,760
I'm so sorry Rebecca. Oh, why?

1208
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:58,600
I knew, it's OK.

1209
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,120
I think that second challenge
probably had me

1210
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,880
for the chopping block, because it,
it was

1211
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:07,880
the second time where I was bottom.

1212
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,040
I've, it's just been the most
incredible journey

1213
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:12,960
and friends for life.

1214
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,120
Oh. Aw.

1215
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,000
But also I just think there's a
natural

1216
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,240
end to people's competition.

1217
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,960
To get to week five is just
incredible.

1218
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,120
It really is.

1219
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,680
I've loved what you've made, it's
been wonderful to see, it really
has.

1220
00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:29,680
Because clay is amazing and art is
amazing.

1221
00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:31,240
So, pick it up and have a go.

1222
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,800
Thank you.

1223
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,320
Well done. Thank you. Well done.

1224
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:38,840
Fantastic, brilliant.

1225
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,840
It's actually really difficult to
see her go, um...

1226
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,480
She's been so supportive.

1227
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,080
She was there, she was like my wee
mum.

1228
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,280
It's all right!

1229
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,040
Yeah, I couldn't be prouder of her,

1230
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,680
but I'm gonna miss her so much.

1231
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:00,920
Potter of the Week.

1232
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,240
Great, but

1233
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,360
me and Beck have made really good
friends so I'm really, really sad
that she's going.

1234
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,640
So, as Rebecca says goodbye to the
pottery,

1235
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,640
Lois's gargoyle takes its
hard-earned position in the
Throw Down Gallery.

1236
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,920
I can't believe that I got Potter of
the Week again,

1237
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,880
my family are gonna be really happy.

1238
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,880
My son said to me, "Yeah, I think if
you apply for the Throw Down,

1239
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,600
"you'll probably get to, like,
episode five?"

1240
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,960
So, I've got to episode six.

1241
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,400
So, I've beaten his expectations.

1242
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,520
Doing things I never would of.

1243
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,280
Never. Maybe I should believe in
myself.

1244
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,760
Maybe, maybe I'm doing OK.

1245
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:42,720
Next time... Oh!

1246
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,320
..the potters tackle titanic table
lamps...

1247
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,600
I'm just trying to wrestle it.

1248
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,000
Oh, deary!

1249
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,880
..and flex their decorative
dexterity...

1250
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,840
..with a Venetian inspired spot
test.

1251
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,440
The only people who are gonna wear
these,

1252
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,160
are going to dodgy sex parties.

1253
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,080
Who will light up the pottery?

1254
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,240
This is how you paint in a panic.
Ah!

1255
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,760
And whose bulb is set to blow?

1256
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,160
Oh!

1257
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,160
