Yes, but I can't help but think that Jodie is just lucky that Hannah's cracked.Right result.

I dunno. I thought Hannah’s was really ugly. i really liked her woman but I couldn’t see what she had to do with the pot and the stripes. And she covered the lovely woman in dark green glaze!Yes, but I can't help but think that Jodie is just lucky that Hannah's cracked.
Scales were the wrong way round, they should run towards the tail of a creature. As it is it would be a nightmare to clean as gunge would collect in the scales. Otherwise a brilliant piece.Adam’s bottom didn’t go with his top but his base was beautiful.

Jodie was lucky, I agree; her design played safe and was a bit twee. I didn't really like Hannah's design, not to my taste, but it was more ambitious. Adam's was well-designed and executed, but the top didn't really go with the bottom, it didn't look right together, although he did execute it well, in terms of colouring the scales in different colours, which was a lovely effect. But he's done sea creatures before, a bit of a one-trick pony. I preferred Steve's suitcases, really well engineered and executed, it's just a shamed it cracked slightly in the kiln, but it still functioned perfectly. I wondered if the cracks cost Steve top place, or whether, all things being equal, they would've given it to Adam anyway because his design was more complex? I think sometimes, there's less margin for error with something simplistic, it's less forgiving of errors.
It's the same with all these competition shows. It's a totally valid strategy to go with something simple, but you must, must absolutely nail it. There's no room for forgiveness if you go simple and get it wrong.I think sometimes, there's less margin for error with something simplistic, it's less forgiving of errors.
Right result.

No, he's Peter, not Steve!Yeah I thought Adams two elements didn’t really gel, but preferred the top. Peter’s was definitely the best put together, and the rivets and straps were really well executed, and yet it didn’t delight me at all.
Ha just seen he’s Steve, not Peter.
So is anyone going to apply to take part?
I liked Adam's concept, but the practical issues meant that Jodie's was the best. Deserved winner, and what wonderful, wonderful Sunday evening telly
Just watched it and I was in snot bubbles territory. Started to calm down and they put the pic of her up in her scrubs!Oh me too! I properly cried. I’ve gone all Keith
