About Inner Strength Pottery

Inner Strength Pottery came to life in 2019 when I decided I needed a crafty hobby and a way to escape the stresses of everyday life.  Little did I know then that it would literally change EVERYTHING.

I am thankful every day.

 

As if working in a Government job on Brexit since 2017 wasn’t stressful enough, along came the Coronavirus which added unprecedented pressure onto the world, it’s leaders and it’s people.
Home became the office for my husband and I.    We’d only been married for 2 months before lock-down and

I hadn’t expected marriage to mean we’d be living in each others space 24/7/365 for the next 18 months.  
I love my husband, don’t get me wrong, but I did enjoy a bit of ‘me time' when he went out with the lads.

So, I kicked Dad out of his shed, bought a pottery wheel and some mud 
and set up my little studio.
The rest, they say, is history.

Me and my Wheel

I'm passionate about pottery and love to be creative but much more importantly, I love to share my passion with other people.    But - making pots is just part of it. 

​

Wheel Throwing has so many more benefits than just having a pot to put your used tea-bags in. 

It's therapeutic, relaxing, relieves stress and is great for improving ones mental health

No matter how stressed you are when you begin to throw you soon find that your body has slowed down, your mind has settled and you've let go of all those things that were making too much noise

​

and that's what I want for my students too

So, why not give it a go.   Head over to the 'Workshops' and get yourself booked in​

A little bit about the name

The logo represents the Celtic symbol for 'Inner Strength' and was the tattoo my big sister had on her wrist. 
I have the same tattoo now.  I always copied her when we were growing up and she would think that's really funny now. 
My sister passed suddenly in 2019. 
In her memory, I'm using the symbol to headline my pottery adventure, in honor of a life taken too soon and a nod to the Inner Strength we all need to get through the tough times as well as sharing any we have spare with those who need it more.
