Marianne DeMartini

German-born ceramic artist Marianne De Martini has lived in Auburn since 1981. Her interest in ceramics began at an early age when as a child she created entire market scenes out of modeling clay. Later on, during visits to local museums, her interest was further sparked by pieces of roman pottery that had been discovered in her home town. Other influences, such as Asian ceramics exhibitions, led her to study ceramic design at the Werkkunstschule (College of Arts and Crafts) Krefeld, Germany, where she received her BFA.

Today Marianne creates hand-carved candle lights, large lace bowls, delicate lotus-shaped bowls, and covered jars made from blended clays. She hand-throws the pieces on her wheel and then carves them by hand. After completing the design they are bisque-fired, then stoneware glazes ranging from a muted multi-layered cream to vibrant blues and greens are applied for a final firing.
