The Great Pottery Throw Down – Set Dressing & Scenic Work

We had the joy of working with Create 180 to create a calm, welcoming set for The Great Pottery Throw Down at the Gladstone Pottery Museum. Inspired by the textures and colours around us, we crafted a soothing space for the contestants to work in. I’m especially proud of the iconic blue doors, which helped bring warmth, charm, and a little bit of magic to the show.

A woman with brightly colored turquoise hair, wearing a striped long-sleeve shirt, a pink apron, a multicolored skirt, and striped shoes, is painting or working on a large, weathered wooden panel with abstract red, green, and black paint. She has a tool belt with brushes and supplies, and is standing on a white cloth, in an industrial or studio setting.

A man with long, wavy blonde hair and a beard peeks out from behind a weathered, blue-green metal door with peeling paint, in an industrial or workshop setting, wearing a dark, paint-splattered T-shirt and beige work pants.
