White ceramic Nordic cup
£16.00
These cups are made on Nordic lines - which doesn’t mean they have anything to do with snowbound noir thrillers or (heaven forfend) globe-spanning furniture retail. It means they don’t have handles and are perfect for warming your hands around hot coffee on a cold day.
Gary Fulton makes ceramics from his home studio in Hayle, Cornwall. And he does it all with his left-hand, having lost the use of his right arm in a motorcycle accident in 2003. Gary learned his craft whilst in prison, via the LandWorks scheme in Dartington, Devon, which provides training and work for current and former prisoners.
These cups are bespoke and for now can’t be found anywhere else but Different Kind.

As Gary Fulton points out himself, if you want everything to be identical, you go to Ikea. We appreciate that his skills means he can turn out a well-matched set, but the nature of that skill means no two pieces will be the same. They are families, not clones.
Gary set up The One-Armed Potter after training with LandWorks and now gives money and time back to the organisation to help other former prisoners find a new path.
Made from stoneware clay with a food-safe glaze. Not dishwasher safe.
Approx 7cm high, 10cm diameter.
