Petal Drop Pitcher/handmade pottery by martina lantin

About the Artist
Martina Lantin Things that I love involve crisp sharpness – the bite of a bittersweet dark chocolate, the sting of the breeze on a sunny day in late fall and the unavoidable boldness of the color red. These things also contain within them the memory of childhood, comfort and confidence of life ahead. It seems in retrospect that my pots have served to emphasize this crisp severity removed from the mark of the handmade. I am currently trying to contain in my pots the softness and subtle irregularity that serve to emphasize the handmade object in today’s machine made world. Currently working away from the paper resist and carved decoration that has characterized my work for the past year, I’m searching for forms, decoration and glazes that maintain some of the dynamic crispness that I love while instilling the vitality of the touch of the maker and offering the soft comfort of home. In this spirit, I have begun to explore looser thrown forms, less defined decoration and satin glazes to invite the touch. I am learning it is contrary to my nature to allow glazes to run, lines to blur and edges to wobble. It takes me greater concentration to bring an irregular pot into being than a tight one. I continue to strengthen my forms by consciously incorporating elements throughout foot, handle and rim.
