Gina Mars

Gina Mars is a ceramic artist working on Long Island, New York. She has been creating with clay for over thirty years. At the age of 19, she enrolled in a ceramics course in college while becoming a teacher and never looked back. Her work is a combination of styles and includes raku techniques. Raku is the ancient art of fast firing ceramics and then removing them from the kiln at 2000 degrees. The vessel or sculpture is then placed in a pit with combustibles to cut off the oxygen. The glaze interacts with the smoke and the results are a one of a kind colorful and crackle effect. Her stoneware collection comprises everyday ware for the home such as mugs, bowls, canisters and whimsical jars with animals are wonderful additions to any home and are all food safe. Her work is ever evolving, clay allows her to try something new every day bringing her much joy. When she is not creating in her studio, Gina is teaching students from the ages 5 to 95! She also specializes in the neurodiverse student population. Please enjoy her creations! Custom orders are considered.
