“I value well-wrought craftmanship and believe that the objects we surround ourselves with should elevate our sense of self and spark our imagination. I believe art is the antidote to the throw-away culture and that by making durable and precious objects, we enrich ourselves and ensuing generations.” – Minh Douglas Martin
