Judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller set the 12 new potters two challenges against the clock: to throw a cheese set and port chalices.

It's all about bricks and mortar, as the 11 remaining potters slab-build a 3D building and, in a Throw Down first, judge Rich Miller tasks the potters with hand-making bricks.

The remaining potters get fruity when they're challenged to make a bowl full of realistic ceramic fruits, and face a blindfolded throw down with a twist.

It's naked raku week and the remaining potters throw, burnish and fire a pair of vases, and are set a floral challenge by guest judge and flower-making expert Rita Floyd.

It's Music Week and the remaining potters sculpt a life-like bust of a music legend, receive a surprise special message from an iconic artist, and make mini musical instruments.

It's Terracotta Week in the pottery, and the potters are tasked to make their own range of cookware. Judge Rich Miller sets a second terracotta challenge to engrave tiles.

It's Garden Week, and the remaining potters face a green-fingered challenge: to build an animal water feature and throw a strawberry planter for a place in the quarter-finals.

It's an all-American-themed quarter-final, as the remaining potters make Acoma pottery fired in cow dung and throw an Alabama ring bottle for a place in the semi-final.

It's the semi-final, and the remaining potters produce an elaborate and fully-functional pedestal sink and decorate a chamber pot in Bathroom Week, all for a place in the grand final.

In an art deco-inspired final, the potters make a punch bowl and decanter, before facing the tiniest throwing challenge ever set.
