'Every page made me wish I was a potter' Nigel Slater Florian
Gadsby has devoted his life to pottery, refining his technique
towards the point of perfection - and as his skill has grown, so
has his social media following, which today numbers in the
millions. Based at a studio in North London, he releases three new
collections per year, characterized by simple forms and sharp
edges, which sell out in a matter of minutes. In By My Hands,
Florian tells the story of his artistic awakening, his education in
England, Ireland and Japan, and of the sheer discipline which has
led him to become the cultural sensation he is today. Arguing for
the value in dedicating yourself to a craft, Florian weaves
anecdotes about particular pots and processes into the narrative of
his life, exploring what he has learnt from specific pieces he was
taught to throw during his apprenticeships and how they have
informed his philosophy and approach to his work. By My Hands is an
ode to the beauty of small things, such as a simple hand-thrown mug
or bowl, which can brighten life's daily rituals and make them more
meaningful - as well as an inspiring testament to the power of
perseverance.
