Ellie Martin is ceramic artist specializing in functional forms made from both hand-built and wheel-thrown techniques. She began her career in Asheville, NC, a large hub for many fine arts, before taking her talents back to her hometown, Sarasota, Florida. As a Florida native, Ellie loves to incorporate organic materials found around Florida’s beaches and parks in her works, mainly by making her own organic tools. Ellie’s favorite thing to do here at our studio is teach children’s and beginner’s classes and is on a mission to prove ceramics is an accessible hobby that anyone and everyone can do!
