Russell Martin is a ceramic artist specializing in sgraffito, drawing inspiration from the flora, fauna, and captivating landscapes of Cornwall. His work is deeply rooted in the region’s natural beauty and folklore, weaving unique narratives into each piece.

Russell’s process begins with immersion in Cornwall’s rugged coastlines, rolling hills, and rich history. By sketching plants, observing animals, and capturing the essence of the landscapes, he develops intricate designs that celebrate the region’s charm and its tidal tales.

Through sgraffito, Russell carves detailed patterns into clay, exposing contrasting layers beneath. This meticulous technique highlights the interplay of light and shadow, bringing his designs to life. The result is a collection of ceramic works that beautifully reflect Cornwall’s spirit and Russell’s artistic vision.
