During the early 2020's Martin worked with Island Pottery of Summerside. Their website indicated that:
Martin JarmanSince his first pottery lesson at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD), Martin has been hooked on pottery. Initially resisting taking a class, that all changed as soon as he got his hands on clay. He was fascinated by the beauty that skilled hands could coax from such a humble material, literally mud from the earth. Until graduation he spent every possible waking moment at the wheel honing his craft. After graduating from NBCCD, Martin moved to Prince Edward Island and began working at Island Stoneware as the junior technician, a job he describes as his working apprenticeship. Surrounded by many experienced potters at Island Stoneware in those early early made every day a huge learning and growing opportunity. After several years, Martin left our studio to embark on a great working journey across the country.A self-described pottery nomad, Martin has spent the last decade travelling across Canada making pots and teaching pottery. This journey took him from the east coast to west coast and back again. This time was a great experience, exposing him to tons of exciting and different ways of making pots. And, after a decade of upheaval, Martin was left him with a strong desire to settle in one place. As a Maritimer, he felt there was no better place to return to than Prince Edward Island. When he was away from the PEI, Martin found he would always talk about his Island experiences and, especially, his time at Island Stoneware. The return to PEI and our studio felt like a natural return. We are incredibly delighted to have him back!Martin was, is and will always be driven to create. From sun up until sun down you will find him either elbows deep into clay or holding a paintbrush. For Martin there is no better way to spend a life than creating art in such a beautiful setting as Prince Edward Island.
In 2025 the Facebook page is Martin Jarman Porcelain & Pottery and the Instagram account is Martin Jarman Porcelain & Pottery. The Etsy shop is a source of buying Martin's work.
In 2022 while living in Victoria, BC Martin's pottery mark included one using his first initial and last name: M. Jarman. On Instagram he indicated that it was a new mark he was trying out.
While employed with Island Stoneware his work was signed with their name.
In Sept 2025 Island Stoneware closed. Martin Jarman Porcelain & Pottery operates in Summerside and uses a ceramic blue oxide stamped pottery mark with the company name on the bottom.
