A chance connection with Sid Oakley quickly grew into a creative partnership, and John soon became an essential part of the studio’s daily rhythm.\u003cbr\u003eFor 15 years he worked alongside Sid, glazing and firing crystalline pots and helping develop the luminous palette that became a Cedar Creek hallmark—work strengthened by his background in chemical engineering. His inventive streak later led him to design crystalline‑glazed lamps, pushing form and function in new directions.\u003cbr\u003eToday, John continues to make pots in small batches, keeping the spirit of experimentation and the tradition of crystalline glazing alive at Cedar Creek.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026. \u003cbr\u003eAfter the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Teapot Show XIII","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44388175053052,"sku":"NTSXIII-252-1","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/8146\/2941\/files\/252-1JohnMartinpic1.jpg?v=1778623870","url":"https:\/\/cedarcreekgallery.com\/products\/john-martin-tea-tanium-teapot-lamp","provider":"Cedar Creek Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
