The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down Season — 1 ...

Best known for her scene-stealing role as Jocelyn Schitt on Schitt’s Creek , Robertson brought genuine warmth and slapstick humor. Unlike hosts who stand back and observe, Robertson was frequently found trying (and failing) to throw a pot, breaking a handle, or screaming with genuine horror as a kiln door opened. Her ability to cry during eliminations made her the emotional anchor of the series.

The show's format, inspired by the popular British series "The Great Pottery Throw Down," brings together 10 talented potters from across Canada to compete in a series of challenges that test their skills, creativity, and ability to work under pressure. Each episode features a theme, and contestants must create pieces that meet the challenge while impressing the judges with their technique, design, and overall aesthetic.

The finale required the three finalists (Adam, Brenda, and a surprising dark horse named Chloe) to produce a complete 12-piece dinner service: plates, bowls, cups, and a centerpiece tureen. Adam chose a brutalist black matte finish. Chloe chose rainbow majolica. Brenda chose simple sea-glass blues. Adam won due to technical perfection, but Brenda won the audience’s heart. The show’s final shot was Rogen helping Brenda load her van with her runner-up pieces while she told him to "put his back into it."
