Objects for Presence, Made by Hand in Los Angeles

About the Artist

Zenramics was founded by Benjamin A. Martinez, a Los Angeles-based artist and designer working out of the DTLA Arts District. With nearly two decades of creative practice, Benjamin approaches ceramics through a balance of discipline, intuition, and design restraint. His work is rooted in the act of being present: shaping clay slowly, responding to the material, and allowing each piece to carry the evidence of the hand that made it. Every form is wheel-thrown in Los Angeles with a focus on proportion, surface, and everyday function.

About Zenramics

Zenramics is a functional ceramics brand built around the idea of being here now. Each cup, bowl, mug, and vessel is designed to bring a quiet sense of presence into daily ritual. The work combines earthy materials, visible clay bodies, and restrained glazes with a minimal, nature-forward design language. Made in small batches in the DTLA Arts District, Zenramics exists between art object and everyday tool: calm, functional pieces made to be used, lived with, and returned to day after day.
