    Thanks for sharing!

    Horsehair pottery is among my favorites. We've wintered in Phoenix a lot and I've seen it in many forms, beautiful creations! Thank you and blessings.

    Beautiful Pottery, horse hair pottery is new to me, but I am glad your lens introduce me in a new technique. Well deserved purple star.

    What a fascinating and unique concept, I think they are wonderful to look at and you have shown them to be a very collectable item. I really like them :)

    Pottery branded with horsehair! What a unique medium to use; it certainly turns out beautifully and def one of a kind. Interesting lens!

    Really cool stuff...thanks!

    Excellent review of horse-hair-pottery as well as Mr. Martin's other lovely art pieces. Thank you for sharing. The idea of using horse-hair as a decorative item would never have entered my mind. That's probably why I will never be a great artist. LOL

    The concept of using horse hair in pottery is very fascinating. No two are alike. I learned something new reading this lens. Blessed by a SquidAngel.

    Really cool I really enjoy checking out different types of art and this horse hair pottery os really cool
  • artyfax Dec 4, 2010 @ 12:14 pm | delete
    lots of interesting information here, not a potter but intrigued by the design work and wonderful finished textures and colours
  • dustytoes Oct 27, 2010 @ 5:00 pm | delete
    I love this. I've always wanted to make pottery. I know it's not as easy as it looks and his designs are lovely. He is very talented.

    Wow! What a great artist and fabulous pottery! Thank you for the introduction!

    This is fascinating to read about this very talented artist.
    I like the ceramic beads a lot.

    Very lovely visit to this lens, creative pottery.
    Congratulations on the Purple Star too!
  • WhiteOak50 Sep 29, 2010 @ 6:11 pm | delete
    Wow..this is some of the most beautiful pottery I have seen. I love pottery for so many reasons and have several pieces from a local artist here in Georgia. The pattern I have is the Southwestern Sun (I believe that is what it is called) it's so beautiful!! Love, Richard's pottery!!
  • thrivingmom Sep 24, 2010 @ 8:26 am | delete
    He's a true artist. His pottery is beautiful. I didn't know you could sell pottery on Etsy. Etsy is great for so many things.
  • missbat Sep 22, 2010 @ 3:47 pm | delete
    I would never have thought of using horsehair in a pottery design. How unique! Congratulations on your purple star!
  • Heather426 Sep 22, 2010 @ 1:06 pm | delete
    I'm a potter myself, and I love love love these horsehair pottery pieces! Great job on the lens too!
  • Rewards4life Sep 22, 2010 @ 1:34 am | delete
    Truly remarkable work. Congratulations on your Purple star!

    My husband and I have three of these pots. We absolutely LOVE them! We bought them at a festival in Richardson, Texas. I wonder if it's the same guy? Have you ever heard of anyone else that does it? (I don't remember what the people that sold them to us looked like, I'll bet my hubby does. I'll show him your lens!!)
  • pyle_mountain Sep 15, 2010 @ 7:59 am | delete
    Wow, this is beautiful pottery! I'll need to keep this in mind for Christmas gifts! Thanks for sharing.

    It's always interesting to see a craftsperson at work and I love the work you show here. Blessed by an Angel.
  • LindaJM Sep 13, 2010 @ 2:05 pm | delete
    Very beautiful work! My cousin's name is Richard Martin... different guy, though. Martin is a common name. I would definitely like to buy some of this pottery - for gifts!
  • Ecolicious Sep 12, 2010 @ 9:22 pm | delete
    great lens and I am now a fan of his work. thanks!
  • Pukeko Sep 11, 2010 @ 2:27 pm | delete
    Interesting pottery and beautiful too. Your first sentence was spot on for me "When you hear the words "horse hair" and "pottery" together, you might wonder how they could possibly go together." I like the new format for our bios, as seeing this intro is what brought me here :)
  • OhMe Sep 11, 2010 @ 11:53 am | delete
    I love beautiful pottery and had never seen this technique. Very interesting and very pretty. Rob Gentry is a well known potter here in Pendleton SC and I will have to share this page with him. Richard Martin's Horse Hair Pottery is very unique. Blessed by a Squid Angel. Lensrolling to Pendleton Antiques where one of the Antique Dealers explains about the old Edgefield Pottery.

    Lovely tribute to a very creative potter. *-*Blessed*-* and featured on Sprinkled with Stardust - Craft
  • WordCustard Aug 20, 2010 @ 6:08 am | delete
    What beautiful and unusual pottery. I like the look of those beads too!
  • WildFacesGallery Aug 15, 2010 @ 10:13 pm | delete
    Really wonderful work. I'm not a potter but may have to give it a whirl with some of my horse hair. Fascinating lens.
  • E. Post - Phoenix, AZ Aug 13, 2010 @ 11:27 am | delete
    Hey Richard,
    Fantastic work. You are a true artist! Keep it up, I know that much blessing is coming through the work of your hands.
  • Lance Badger Aug 13, 2010 @ 11:24 am | delete
    Nice work, Mr. Martin. I'm still nuts about the beads. Got any in purple?
  • Gary Morse Aug 13, 2010 @ 11:09 am | delete
    I had not heard of a lens before this and I am impressed with your work as always. You have a great future,
  • Violet Burton Aug 13, 2010 @ 10:58 am | delete
    Richard shows at our Brookings Harbor Farmers and Artisans market and people are fascinated with his pottery. The beads are fun and jewelers are buying them to incorporate into their own creations.
  • Kleppins_Kitchen Aug 12, 2010 @ 11:22 am | delete
    Great lens about a great artist and his wonderful pottery.
  • MeltedRachel Aug 9, 2010 @ 2:59 pm | delete
    Wow! These are beautiful - what a great technique!
  • jptanabe Aug 8, 2010 @ 6:56 pm | delete
    Well I certainly had never heard of horse hair pottery before, but this is truly beautiful! I'm sure I'd want to buy lots if I encountered his booth. The agateware looks beautiful too - I guess I should make a trip to the Etsy store.
