Where is The Great Pottery Throw Down filmed?
The new season for 2021 is filmed in the same location as the previous seasons, in the home of pottery in Stoke-on-Trent.
They film in one of the studios in Middleport Pottery.
This factory was built in the 19th century and is located on Port Street, Burslem in Stoke-on-Trent.
