art for everyday
use….
….by jeff martens
When you hold a mug from Jeff, you know it. It feels great in the hands - light and balanced with a handle that is sized to get your whole hand through and a place to rest your thumb. It feels even better on the lips - with a rim that is generous and gently curved. For the past twenty years he has been thinking about how to create the best encounter between you and the pottery you use - and it shows in every piece.
…. with every piece unique
It is a joy to serve you directly and to offer you an ever-changing, creative, and dynamic selection of pottery.
