Courtney Martin

Karl Martz worked with earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain at various times in his long career. He made his forms using various construction techniques including wheel-thrown, slab-built, and coiled. He was well known as a glaze chemist and used a wide range of glazes and a number of glaze techniques including wax resist. Although the bulk of his production was functional ware in the 1960s and 1970s he completed a number of sculptural vessels.

Over his long career Karl Martz used a number of marks which carried the date a piece was made or in a code indicating the date.
