Born to be a ceramicist
- • Martin focuses on large vessels
- • He has refined the tradition of salt glazing
- • He takes a sculptural approach
In the heart of the Westerwald lies Martin Goerg’s childhood playground: a clay mine. By spending his early years at his father’s clay mine and summers at his uncle’s ceramics workshop in southern Germany, Martin developed a unique connection to the material. “Ceramics sparked a deep passion within me that will last all my life,” he says. After finishing school, he pursued the traditional path of an artisan from apprentice to master, topped up with studies at the State College for Ceramic Design in Höhr-Grenzhausen. In 1990 he opened his own workshop in the town, where he still works today. Over the years, Martin has constantly reinterpreted and refined the ceramics traditions of his home region.
