Marina Caspe

Marina Caspe is a ceramic artist known for her distinctive approach to form and surface. A native of Nantucket, Massachusetts, she draws inspiration from the island's natural beauty and maritime heritage. Growing up on an island sparked a lifelong curiosity about the world beyond, and her travels have since become a significant source of creative inspiration, influencing both the textures and narratives in her work. Marina earned her Bachelor of Arts from Roger Williams University in 2023, where she developed her foundational skills in art and design. She went on to receive her Master’s degree in Ceramics from the Royal College of Art in London in 2024, where she refined her technical practice and conceptual voice. Her current work serves as storytelling pieces and often explores the tension between reality and permanence. Caspe’s pieces have been exhibited in galleries across the U.S. and the U.K., reflecting her transatlantic perspective and deep connection to place and community.
