Artist Not Defined By His Aphasia

Goose and Swan Pottery - or GASP Studio - is a Home Pottery Studio that myself, Carly (the Swan in this birdbrained pair) and my husband, Paul (the Goose) established in January 2024.

Back in December 2021 - my silly goose of a husband, Paul, survived a very serious stroke-which left him with a language disability calledExpressive Aphasia. 8 months into his recovery, he bravely enrolled in a Beginner Pottery Wheel Throwing Class so that allowed him to exercise his mind and keep his body busy while out of work.

What hatched Goose & Swan Pottery was when Paul had a significant seizure a few years after his stroke. We decided to bring the pottery studio into our home. Needless to say, we are absolutely 'winging' it!

We have caught the pottery bug - well rather, we've snagged the scrap of stale bread in the lake of our crazy lives (...leaning into the bird puns here friends!) in this online shop you have the chance to purchase some of our wheel-thrown pottery pieces.
