Welcome to "Women in Business" with your host, Erin Buck. 2 years ago, I held interviews with Women who were running their own businesses, these are those interviews.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Nicola, the talented potter behind 'Made With Mud' based in Lincolnshire. Nicola's journey as a clay artist began over a decade ago when she started a hand/footprint business. She quickly discovered her natural talent for throwing pottery on a wheel and has been honing her craft ever since.

Nicola finds constant inspiration in nature and the enchanting glazes she works with. One of Nicola's passions is creating functional art pieces that can be treasured and used every day, such as her exquisite drippy glaze mugs and her line of dignity mugs, which are adapted to allow inclusivity to people with disabilities. Additionally, she offers personalised and custom-made mugs for both private individuals and commercial purposes, using her own hand-carved stamps.

Join us for a slightly different conversation with Nicola, where she shares her artistic journey but then shares with us her online experience of trolls and how she turned negativity into positivity with the help of her community.

Tune in to "Women in Business" and listen to Nicola's empowering tale.
