Experienced contemporary artist providing lessons for people of all ages

I have been learning and working within arts related activities since school. I Would like to pass on my knowledge to others who might find this helpful so that they have a good chance of accomplishing their goals. From experience I wish someone dedicated more time to teach me a specific practical art skill. I had to learn most of it through trial and error.

I would describe my self as practical skills person, I believe having skills and putting this into action is the best way to achieve results.

I have worked as a self-employed artist since 2015 working within the fields of contemporary ceramic sculpture, painting, mixed media and digital art. Discover examples on my website at:

I have participated in 10 artist residency’s and 57 exhibitions in the UK and internationally. My art is in 13 public collections around the world and sold to private collectors internationally and has been featured in magazines, books and online press.

I have a YouTube channel were I share art related and educational content, from art work making process, historical art movements, museums, art installations, and sharing my knowledge of what I have learned as an artist. Find out at: @martinharmanarttv/featured
