Will Martin’s ceramic journey began at age 8, taking weekend classes near his local library. After High School he went on to study Art History, Anthropology and English at the University of Cape Town. Having exhibited nationally and internationally at 21, he moved to the UK for a Masters in Contemporary Art History at Christies’ Education. Over the past decade in London he has been teaching, exhibiting and cooking, often platforming other artists and institutions. Martin enjoys making immersive environments - the artworks, the food and the crockery - resulting in a cohesive space and memorable encounters.

As a freelance pottery teacher, Martin has worked at Turning Earth, The Kiln Rooms, Muni and Studio Pottery London, and Studio Pansa in Amsterdam. He also gives an annual contextual studies lecture at the Victoria and Albert Museum for the Kings Foundation Diploma Year. He currently teaches and makes his own work at Urban Potters in Camberwell.
