A man with tattoos and a beard, wearing a brown apron and a gray T-shirt, is decorating ceramic cups in a pottery studio.

Hi, I’m Marlon, a Brazilian ceramic artist based in Manchester. My work blends the rhythms and rawness of Brazil with clean, modern design. Each piece is shaped by hand, no two are the same. I believe in functional art, slow processes, and letting clay tell its own story.
