Sam Martin
Welcome to my creative space, where I draw inspiration from a diverse array of influences: from the functional ceramics of 20th-century American and Italian artisans to the warm modernism of Central and South American designers, my work embraces a rich tapestry of styles. I explore the realms of Afrofuturism and Brutalism, and embrace the dark glamour of fashion designers such as Rick Owens and photographers like Bernd and Hilla Becher. Join me as I navigate the tension between modernity, texture with a touch of brutality in every piece I create.
My work is inspired by this interplay of line, texture, and utility: blending functionality with artistic expression. With a passion for glazes and surfaces, I embrace a playful and experimental approach, resulting in unique textures and intriguing patinas that invite curiosity and touch. Explore one-of-a-kind pieces that challenge the ordinary: Modern, Textured and a little bit Brutal.
