Say what you always wanted to say without having to say it

Hi, I'm Helen, a potter that used to work in the corporate world, the final contribution to which are my bad words mugs.  I hope you enjoy using them as much as I take pleasure from making them and putting awful things on them.

Story

My little pottery shop is based in a market in Devizes, Wiltshire.  It doesn't do spectacularly well because not many of us have got spare cash for hand thrown ceramics.  

 

However, the day I decided to sell some mugs with bad words  stamped on them, my sales started to increase.  But only those mugs. So, more have been made and this website was born.

 

My mugs channel everyday frustrations into functional pieces  that may well resonate. Each individually created piece is made with lots of love and attitude. 

 

Please explore the current stock and see if you can find a piece that speaks for you.

​

Important!!

No mugs were harmed during throwing and firing.  However, shape irregularities can occur because of the stamping process.   This should only make you love them more, as we always root for the underdog.
