onearmedpotter
Welcome to my pottery channel. I’m a one-armed potter working from my small garden studio, creating functional stoneware — mugs, bowls, and everyday pieces that are meant to be used and loved.
After a motorbike accident left me without the use of my right arm, I found clay — and it completely reshaped my life. Pottery became not just a craft, but a way of rebuilding purpose and finding peace through making.
Here I share my process, studio life, and the occasional bit of clay-fuelled chaos. One hand, endless creativity.
