Concept & Collection

I am Martha Landman. My first name is giving by my Hungarian mother, my surname is giving by my Frisian father. My Hungarian nickname is Márthi. That only leads to confusion in the Netherlands. So I became Maartie.

Concept - Story

Seagirl / Zeemeisje / Tengerilángy

Seagirl is the concept for my ceramic work, an antonym to Landman. Seagirl represents classical handmade ceramic art and utensils, inspired by life in the sea. The sea with her calm or rough salty water, sun rays growing coral, shells and pearls and all the secrets she keeps for herself. The little mermaid collected all sorts of beautiful objects for her prince, a seagirl collects all sorts of ornaments for herself. Seagirl ceramics are elegant trinkets that bring joy. For women who do not adapt.

Collection - Work

Cups / Bekers / Bugrék

Cups. Large cups, for a moment for yourself. One that fits nicely in your hands. In the morning to drink coffee, to wake up. To have breakfast in later. Drink a nice cup of tea in the afternoon, to pause for a moment. In the evening for a bowl of soup. The capacity of a handmade cup is half a liter. They are 10 cm high with a diameter of 12 cm and cost €15 each. Then you have your own, unique, robust cup. Available in the colors; sea green, cherry blossom pink, lemon yellow and night blue.

Tableaus / tableaus / tabló

Majolica is an ancient technique, which is used to decorate or illustrate ceramic objects. It is a decorative way to make your home lively. You can think of unique personal gifts such as nameplates, vases, birth presents or just an illustration of a flower or two robins on a tableau.

Tiles / tegels / csempék

All my dreamed ceramic objects come about in my father’s studio. Decorating with tiles is a nice way to let your personality speak in your house. A glaze always has multiple sides, depth and you can keep looking at it. Unique tiles for a wall, the kitchen, the bathroom, the toilet or a bar. It does not have to be a large surface, to give a nice characteristic atmosphere. Any color, size is possible. On handmade or industrial tiles.
