Fans of fast-paced reality competition TV shows can rejoice, as a live pottery competition inspired by "The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down" will be held at the WAG-Qaumajuq. Four local ceramics artists - Eric Au, Meriel Bond, Teegan Walker, and Julianna Zwierciadlowska-Rhymer - will face challenging timed tasks evaluated by judges Toluwalope Toludare and Alan Lacovestsky.

Au, an industrial designer with 20 years of ceramics experience, will compete despite being too busy to practice. Proceeds from the event will fund various WAG programs, including ceramic classes. The six-month-long competition aims to showcase local potters and educate viewers about the skills involved in creating clay pieces.
