Florence St. George is a ceramic artist who creates bespoke pottery from her studio in Oxfordshire.
ABOUT
Florence St. George, also known as Flea, is a British ceramicist who discovered her love of clay after suffering from post natal depression. Flea became a contestant on The Great Pottery Throwdown in 2020. On the show she revealed her unique style, and achieved the ultimate Throwdown compliment when she brought a tear to the eye of judge Keith Brymer-Jones.
She has recently collaborated with the jeweller Monica Vinader and is currently working on a collection for the Birley Bakery in Chelsea.
In 2023 Florence released her first book ’The Potter’s Way’, in it Florence shares some important lessons that she’s learnt along the way: that pottery is the perfect antidote to internet overload (phones and clay don’t mix), that creativity doesn’t have to be expensive, and that the hands-on process of working with clay can ground you like nothing else. It forces you to be in the moment, it teaches you resilience - pots are endlessly breaking - and fully engages your mind, body and soul.
Inspired by the power of pottery and its healing, meditative abilities, Florence feels happiest in her studio.
