On the evening of Saturday, December 6th, the Vancouver Art Gallery is hosting a Pottery Throwdown Competition that will see five local ceramic artists taking one wheel each to create their stuff – right in front of your eyes, live in the Gallery.

Watch Gloria Jue-Youn Han, Rylie McGuire, Emily Sheppard, Jackie Talmey and Isabel Wynn go head-to-head in a fast, muddy showdown where skill and nerve matter as much as originality.

Brendan Lee Satish Tang, artist and judge from CBC’s The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down, will help call the shots – but the crowd gets a say too. You’ll be close enough to feel the splash, cheer your favourites, and vote for the People’s Choice Winner award.

The night also marks the final stretch of Otani Workshop: Monsters in My Head and Written in Clay — a fitting sendoff for two shows that celebrate what happens when art meets earth.

It all goes down 6:30–9:45pm on December 6th. Tickets to the Pottery Throwdown Competition are $50 per person – but they will go fast! Sort yourself out here ASAP in order to get in on all the action.
