Episodes
Episode 1
The Great Pottery Throw Down's master potter Keith Brymer Jones and his partner Marj Hogarth are back with a new series, as they continue their quest of turning their 163-year-old chapel in Pwllheli into their dream home, complete with a pottery studio and a community hub. With planning permission approved for their audacious plan, Keith and Marj set out to transform the downstairs of the Sunday School into their living accommodation. With their hearts set on a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and snug, first they must rip out the fungus and try to control the dreaded dry rot that has infected the chapel. The rot's biggest victim is the original staircase, but Keith and Marj are determined to see the loss as an opportunity, and set out to instil some original character back into their now blank lobby, by rescuing the hall's century-old pendant lighting. The plan is to cluster them together as a feature fitting to go into the space where the old staircase once stood. Local builder Hew Owens is the man helping to bring Keith and Marj's living accommodation vision to life, starting by transforming one of the Sunday School offices into a kitchen. Keen to re-use and recycle, Keith and Marj source an 80-year-old English Rose kitchen, heralded as a British design classic. And to celebrate British craft, Keith and Marj are planning to install a sink with a difference. It's then a race to get the kitchen into shape so that they can finally enjoy a home-made cup of tea in the heart of their new home.

This time, with Capel Salem slowly becoming a home, the next room for transformation is the Victorian-inspired parlour bathroom. For their black bathroom, Keith and Marj take inspiration from Coventry Cathedral, with Keith making a giant clay candlestick holder, while Marj sets about making her dream lampshade for the bathroom's standard lamp.
