Certainly. I was knocked off my motorbike about 20 years ago. I ended up in a coma for 6 weeks and suffered quite a few injuries. I punctured both lungs, broke my neck, my ribs and snapped by clavicle and shattered my right shoulder blade. I also managed to wrench the nerves which operate my arm etc from my spinal column. The injury is known as a brachial plexus injury. I was right handed but do not have any use of my right arm whatsoever. I actually have no feeling in my right arm from the elbow. There is also a lot of pain associated with this type of injury but, weirdly, when I'm throwing pots I don't notice the pain as much. A year after my accident I had a massive heart attack, brought on by injuries sustained in the accident, and had to have a coronary artery bypass. Pottery is something I got into by accident about 7 years ago and I fell in love with it.🙂🙂
@@onearmedpotter oh my what a journey. As they say out of the bad comes the good. Your survived and a whole new world opened up for you. Pottery giving you so much more than just making pots. Well done, I'm glad you found your love for clay. I'm a newbie can't wheel throw and just about to do a glaze firing. I just read that once you kiln wash the shelves they must be bisque fired first. I wonder if I could do a bisque load of pots with fresh washed kiln shelves. Happy potting
Beautiful pieces! I especially love the plates.
Thank you
I love your pottery, especially the glaze combos. Quite nice.
Beautiful. Consistent work
Thank you for your lovely comments and thanks for taking the time to look
Very impressive. May I ask what happened to your arm? I'm in awe that you made all these beautiful pieces
