Martha Todd Ceramic Artist

I am a London based ceramic artist having recently graduated with an MA at the Royal College of Art.

My work is primarily conceptual. I make objects that represent my thoughts and findings in life. I enjoy using dark humour and am particularly interested in the audience’s reaction to the unusual and absurd.
