A graduate of the ceramics program at Selkirk College, Alice Gibson of Penticton, is one of the contestants on a new CBC show called The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down.
At 22-years-old, Gibson is the show’s youngest contestant. She recently took up pottery four years ago before studying at Selkirk College. Speaking of her time at the school, Gibson said, “it was amazing. I learned so much there and some of my closest friends I met in that program.”
The show, which debuts on Feb. 8, features ten amateur potters competing to be crowned “best at the wheel.” It is hosted by Jennifer Robertson who is known for her work as an actor on Schitt’s Creek. Judges include renowned artists Brendan Tang and Natalie Waddell as well as guest judge Seth Rogan.
