When Nicola Swann decided to make a custom mug for a friend with disabilities, she had no idea that it would spiral into a thriving business. Swann made a double-handled mug that was a game-changer for her friend with mobility issues who could previously only drink from a baby sippy cup. A video of her creation went viral on social media, and messages began pouring in for the UK-based artist to make more of them. She decided to launch Made With Mud—a handmade pottery brand that makes items specially designed for those with disabilities. The brand has been a big success thus far, and she hopes to expand her reach to incorporate products for additional disabilities soon. Shop her creations here!
