An inspirational journey into the therapeutic powers of pottery from The Great Pottery Throw Down contestant, Florence St. George.

'Warm, honest and full of inspiring tips, Florence's story shows us that pottery has the power to soothe the heart and heal the mind.' JULIA SAMUEL

'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

Sometimes, the smallest things lead to the biggest changes. When struggling with depression and feeling lost after the birth of her daughter, Florence St. George began experimenting with a lump of clay on her kitchen table.

Pot by pot, bowl by bowl, she traded Prozac for pottery, finding solace and strength in the therapeutic touch of clay. Pottery soon became a lifeline; a way to rebuild her life and revive her creativity. In just a few years, Florence went from complete beginner to contestant on The Great Pottery Throw Down. Along the way, she found that clay has the power to restore balance and happiness, and light a path through the darkest of times.

The Potter's Way is an uplifting and courageous memoir that invites us all to experience the transformative power of clay and creativity.

'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

'This book is a journey, with a map. Like all maps, it relay's history, from the first point of contact to pivotal moments along the way. I like a map. They help us to find our way.' INDIA HICKS

Praise for The Potter's Way: Heal your mind and unleash your creativity through the power of clay

I took so much from this book. It would never occurred to me that the art of pottery might be such an important place in which to find solace and joy. Big thanks to Flea for this beautiful book. - Amazon UK
Absolutely wonderful testimony with the main message being the importance of creativity being a powerful tool in wellness. A must read - and not just for those interested in pottery! - Amazon UK
I enjoyed it all - from the pottery, the techniques, the stories, the Flea Bites, the Pottery Throw Down, the collaborations and of course the more personal parts - specifically how pottery pulled Flea out of depths of post natal depression and brought a different kind of meaning to her life. A beautiful book - both its contents and to look at. - Amazon UK
