The Potter's Way

So good to read an honest and redemptive story about the power of fun and creativity - I’ve always said if it was mandatory to wear a smock once a week and get messy with clay, adults would be happier. * MIRANDA HART *Read this brilliant and inspiriting book about finding fulfilment and serenity on a journey from Prozac to pottery, by the talented Florence St. George whose every creation I covet. * JEMIMA KHAN *I am in awe of Florence’s story - depression, brain science, pottery, techniques, glazes, artists - she has thrown them on the writer’s wheel, and produced this seamless work of art. A truly lovely book. * MARY THOMPSON *Solace and soul-connection via the joy of making. We can all take inspiration from Florence St. George and discover the mood-changing comfort of creativity via ceramics - her way. Or your way. Just do it. * LAURA BAILEY *I have found nothing outside myself that can truly fill the void, but this book demonstrates that pottery is about as close as it gets. * NICK LOVE *

An inspiring story of the therapeutic benefits of immersing oneself in pottery.

Florence St. George, also known as Flea, is a British ceramicist who discovered her love of clay after the birth of her daughter when she became ill with postnatal depression. In 2020, Flea became a contestant on The Great Pottery Throw Down. Demand for her work continues and she works with a factory in Portugal to produce limited editions of her designs. In 2021 she collaborated with the jewellery designer Monica Vinader and created an array of delicate stacking dishes for rings.
