The Bot Pots Potters' Olympics
Advertisement
The Bot Pot Potters' Olympics is back at Potters Square, and it’s a race to see who can handle the clay without cracking under the pressure. Part serious skill and part total chaos, making it as fun to watch as it is to compete.
They’ll be trying to throw the tallest cylinders and widest bowls (sometimes while blindfolded), or seeing how many beakers they can make before the timer hits zero. There’s also the tandem cylinder, the full teapot challenge, and the high-stakes mission of pulling the longest strap handle possible.
We’ll have our MC Suzy Dunser on the mic to explain the techniques, and crack a joke when things go sideways. Whether you want to sign up as an "Olympian" to test your own skills or you’d rather just grab a pew and cheer from the sidelines, head over to Potters Square. It’s going to be a blast!
Huge thanks to our friends at Bot Pots for supporting this event AND supplying the prizes!
