THE GREAT POTTERY THROWDOWN SET TO RETURN FOR EIGHTH SERIES, APPLICATIONS OPEN

The battle of the clay returns with a brand-new series, as twelve of Britain's best home potters compete to become champion of the pottery. Applications are open here.

The 10x60’ series follows 12 passionate, home potters as they strive to create their most intricate and imaginative work, before their pieces are judged by the expert judging duo and a variety of well-known faces and experts from the world of pottery.

Siobhán McSweeney hosts, as judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller set more challenges than you can throw your crockery at, ultimately deciding which potter becomes Potter of the Week - and which potter must be sent home.

The Great Pottery Throwdown airs on Channel 4.
