Florian Gadsby: By My Hands

Florian Gadsby dedicated his life to pottery, perfecting his technique, and as his skills grew, so did the number of people following his progress on social media. Working from his north London studio, Gadsby creates three new collections a year, which sell out within minutes. In By My Hands, Gadsby tells the story of his artistic awakening, his education in England, Ireland and Japan, and the discipline that led him to become a ceramic celebrity. The author intersperses the story about his craft with anecdotes about individual vessels and the creative process. By My Hands is an ode to the beauty of small things, such as an ordinary, hand-made mug or bowl, which can make everyday rituals more enjoyable and give them a deeper meaning.
