You are so right when you said it opened up the world of clay to 'every day people', and I'm one of those fortunate people. I watched the first series and it reminded me of the few clay days I did in school, I didn't do art as I was useless at it so picked 'girl' subjects for my cse exams. But back to the first series, I applied and got into a Thursday morning class, 2 and half hours of fun fun fun. And I'm still in that same class all these years later, I still love the process, love being around like minded people, all doing their own thing but clay is what we have in common, it's been my lifeline, having to give up work due to disability, it's kept me wanting to be around, I look forward to Thursday s. May the GPTD carry on, Forever, thankyou for giving me a lifeline xx😊

Pottery rooms have been wiped out in most schools. Classes of 30 + make it a monumental task and picking up a pencil to draw is the easy way out. Mr Gove had little respect for practical skills. The Pottery throw-down has helped to fill this void.
