POTTERY HOUSES 

BY MARTIN DEAKIN

Hello – thank you for visiting!

I’ve always had a love of art, so it’s no surprise that I followed a career in the design industry within the fashion world—and beyond. While that remains my day job, over the past few years I’ve rediscovered a passion I first developed at school and college: pottery.

Working from my small cellar studio, I began creating decorative tea light houses using air-dry clay, hand-painted with acrylics and finished with varnish. What started as gifts for friends and family gradually grew, as more people began asking me to create pieces for them.

Each item is carefully crafted by hand, with most pieces taking between 4 and 5 weeks to complete (around 25–50 hours), depending on the level of detail involved.

If you’d like to see more of my work, you can follow me on Instagram or get in touch using the link at the bottom of the website.

Many thanks,
Martin
