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 all the awful things on them.
These mugs are made as part of my everyday throwing, and so I don't precisely measure them when throwing. As a result, sizes will differ a little as you'll see from the photos.
To see examples of my other work (including non-pottery related things) on Facebook, go to: Helen Mills (Functional Pottery).
Story
My little pottery studio and 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.
Then I made a mug for a friend with a particularly offensive word stamped on it. His friends wanted one, and they gradually started gaining in popularity. Eventually 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, being British, we always root for the underdog.
