Clean-cut lines and elegance
- • Isabel worked at Nic Collin’s ceramic studio on a Leonardo Da Vinci residency scholarship
- • Her work was commissioned by the Thyssen shop for The Occult in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collections exhibition, Madrid 2023
- • She collaborates with gastronomy stylists and photographers
Isabel San Martín’s functional creations readily invite the touch, with fine finishes that stem from a masterful use of material and simple designs. Her approach to ceramics is based on modelling and sculpture. Isabel studied Fine Arts at Complutense University of Madrid, Pottery and Ceramic Design at Francisco Alcántara Art School and Moncloa Ceramic School in Madrid. She opened PLAART, her atelier, in 2018 on the outskirts of the Spanish capital, where she draws inspiration from surrounding nature. Isabel combines stoneware, porcelain and terracotta to produce bowls, platters and plates through hand modelling, pottery lathe, casting techniques and a controlled enamel and firing finish. Her creations aim to bring a sense of elegant containment into everyday life.

Stones
Stones is a statement about sustainable production. This tableware series is made with recycled clay from other works, making its differing colours visible inside and out in a creative fusion design. It is made in earthenware ceramics in black, brown, terracotta and white clays with a glazed finish.

Bubbles
Bubbles is a series of shockproof ceramic vases. It expresses the incongruent theme of vulnerability vs the futility of self-protection. An ironic juxtaposition of concepts and aesthetics in porcelain and earthenware with a partial glaze finish.

Tea set
The smooth lines of PLAART monochrome Tea sets are a reminder of the beauty in simple daily routines. Cup, sugar bowl and teapot, all turned and handcrafted one by one in fire clay and a jute-fibre handle for a delicate finish.

Basics
This collection of dishes showcases refined and minimalist lines in combination with the deliberately organic and natural finish of black chamotte in fire clay.
