I am working on managing anxiety. I went from avoiding planes and crowds to flying to Hawaii, hitting conferences. I wrote about the messy, personal journey from anxious to excited, one trip at a time. #AnxietyJourney #MentalHealth #PersonalGrowth #CreativeRecovery jonnymartin.blog/blog/from-an...

First pottery post in a while, I made these Nirikomi mugs a few weeks ago. My goal was to mix my throwing with my hand building so I made Nirikomi handles! These are very experimental so fingers crossed they survive. 🤞 #nirikomi #ceramics #stoneware #pottery

Just got home after what felt like 2 weeks—3 days at a conference, 4 with family in Santa Cruz. I’m wiped but grateful. Trying to live like my life’s a movie—more adventures, fewer things. Bike rides with dad, tacos with mom, sunrise from the hotel.

“Be your authentic self.” Is what I said to myself this morning. And I think that’s why I had such a good time at GDC this year. I wasn’t trying to be a corporate member of a company I wasn’t trying to be someone trying to get a job, I just was me. I wore weird shirts and gave away pottery.

I almost forgot how much I love this album. Is this my punk rock era round 2? Why do I feel the need to put patches all over this new jean jacket I have? 🤔

Process photo of the nirikomi process. I’ll do a video one of these days but this is me compressing the clay a bit more with my latest batch.

Just wrapped up updating my shop with 7 new Nerikomi pieces, I love all the wabi-sabi imperfections! This round includes a couple low-footed trays, a few sculptural tumblers, and a tea caddy. This is my favorite, I might keep it. www.martinceramics.com/shop #handmade #ceramics #nerikomi #wabisabi

Coming soon! These pieces took about a week just to prep the clay, and I'm so happy with how they turned out. More on my process soon! #Nerikomi #HandbuiltCeramics #MarbledClay #SlowCraft #FunctionalArt #HandmadePottery

After a day of uploading all my old photos from the pre-social media days I felt the need to write a bit about it (blog coming soon) but for now I want to share some pretty hilarious pictures of me. For anyone else who lived in the pre social media time and took pictures on film please share!

I am so proud of this latest series. I really wanted to push the limits of my abilities and do a full set of hand built items with marbled and mixed clay. I also wanted to make a set of cups for my friend and use new glazing techniques on each one. These are using porcelain slip and glaze.

Biggest thing I’ve ever thrown. 5.5lbs of clay, and 13” wide, literally the width of the wheel.

After over a year I can now finally throw soft clay! Porcelain is one is one of the softest and most challenging clay bodies to throw with and I’ve finally made something! The white ones are porcelain the yellow ones are Bmix.
