Episode 8

Home potters compete to become the new champion of British pottery. In the final, the potters make a pair of identical, fully functioning light features out of porcelain.

It is the grand final and the three remaining potters have just a hat trick of challenges left before one is crowned the winner of the Great Pottery Throw Down.

For their final throw down, the potters have ten minutes to make as many Japanese lanterns as they can. Not only that, but they have to throw them the Japanese way - with the wheel turning clockwise, the opposite of what they are used to.

For the spot test, the potters must sculpt the torso of a special guest, ice dancer Sylvain Longchambon.

For their main make, Kate Malone and Keith Brymer Jones give the potters their hardest task yet. They want them to make a pair of identical, fully functioning light features. To truly test their ability, they are making them out of porcelain - the white and delicate clay is the trickiest to work with.

After eight episodes and 24 gruelling challenges, who will be crowned the winner of The Great Pottery Throw Down?
