I really should have recorded the trimming of these plates. If you are a potter you know when that clay is perfect consistency it’s just so nice to trim!! #pottery

Benefits of the early morning runs is you get to see deer on the trail. I’ve been running this trail for years and I’ve never seen deer before. #trailrunning #hiking #eastbay

Here’s a more detailed look at the plates I’m making. They are about 11” in diameter and I’m making them for my dad. 3 more to go! #pottery

New set of plates coming soon. #pottery

One more mug done. I’m trying to build one of these a week, yes it takes that long. #nerikomi #pottery #handbuilt

Ok so this is just an idea… but hear me out, I wanna sell this latest collection with a complimentary CD that I think embodies the vibe of the piece. Since my latest collection kind of feels a little psychedelic this is what I went with.

Almost done! #nerikomi #pottery

So satisfying trimming these! #nerikomi #pottery

July Newsletter Following in my wife's footsteps I'm starting this newsletter thing she does so fantastically well. I've never done one of these so here goes nothing!

I’m starting up a monthly newsletter for anyone interested. It’s gonna have my pottety and web design projects mostly. #nerikomi #pottery #art #webdesign open.substack.com/pub/jonnymar...

New project! It’s a nerikomi tumbler. I made two. #pottery #nerikomi

Do yourself a favor and change your wallpaper on your phone to pets because if you are like us and have a zillion animals in your photo album you’ll get one of these gems every few hours.

SquareSpace Artist Guides I built this guide of my top 10 issues I saw with most of my clients. I want to share all my learnings so if you are struggling getting Squarespace to look right this could save you lots of time.

I've been helping artists with their Squarespace sites. I made a list of all the issues I encountered, documented solutions, and now shared them all with you so you don't waste your time cursing this tool like I did. Enjoy! #art #pottery #webdesign #squarespace open.substack.com/pub/jonnymar...

Starting Over: How I Found Purpose (Again) Through Web Design Starting over can be a powerful decision, especially when it leads you back to your roots. After eight months of navigating a challenging job market in tech and gaming, I found myself at a crossroads.

First substack post is live! It's all about my recent journey back into design and photography. #ceramics #photography #pleinair #webdesign jonnymartin.substack.com/p/starting-o...

Just taking photos of pottery. Another Tuesday. This is a new project. Her site is up but we are giving it a big overhaul. www.krystamae.com

Here’s my latest one from Krysta. She usually does hand building but today we did some wheel work. I’m still working on the site but it’s www.krystamae.com if anyone is interested. Shop is coming soon 😊 I want to do little bios on all the potters. They are all incredible!

I shot and edited a video for one of my latest clients, Fergus from ceramic slides, we are working on his new site ceramicslides.com

Some photos were taken today for the new site I’m working on.

Just messing around in the pottery making videos for a site I’m working on. You know… normal shit. It’s called ceramicslides.com if you are interested. 😉

Work in progress

Been waiting for this piece for a long time. It’s finally done! Sadly there are two small cracks in it. 😭. I might try Kintisugi but it seems very involved. A project for another day.

Websites are being made!!!!! I never thought I’d be doing this again. I forgot how much I love making websites. Here’s a sneak peak. She has such amazing work.

Things were made. The joy of Nirikomi, took about 3 hours to make this slab. Mmmmm looks so nice though!

Building an Artist’s Website — Martin Ceramics In my effort to build out not only my own ceramics practice but also support the community as a whole, I’ve started building websites for some of the artists in our studio.

I built a website for a ceramic artist, wrote a blog about why, (hint) it’s about giving artists space to focus without getting pulled into the mess of social. If you’re curious or need a site yourself, might be worth a read. www.martinceramics.com/blog/buildin... #pottery #artistwebsites
