The Pottery Throwdown Contestants

For this final episode of the Spring 2024 mini-series of Mother of All Solutions, I am pleased to share an interview with Donna Bloye (winner) and Steven Broughton (semi-finalist) from series seven of the Great Pottery Throwdown.  Fans of the series will have enjoyed watching them on screen and like me picked up a strong sense of their love for pottery and ceramics, but also their role as parents. Donna is mum to three children and Steven is dad to one daughter. I wanted to talk to them together and hear more about their careers as art and design teachers too - and their work now as potters, alongside parenting.  I hope you enjoy the conversation and it gives you some nice moments to think about creativity, ceramics and kids too. Thank you for listening!  You can find out more about these fantastic people and their work:  Donna Bloye www.otonipottery.com / Instagram @oto.ni.pottery  Steven Broughton www.stevenbroughtonceramics.com / Instagram @steb_pots Mother of All Solutions podcast is an independent podcast hosted and produced by Laura Broderick, with music by Ros Fraser www.motherofallsolutions.com / Instagram and X @SolutionsMother If you have enjoyed the episode it would be much appreciated if you could like and share, and do subscribe for future episodes coming later in 2024!
