ClaySpace

ClaySpace employee Matt Seikel is an Key West-based ceramic artist who transforms raw earth into functional art through traditional pottery techniques and contemporary vision. Working primarily with stoneware and porcelain, Seikel creates pieces that bridge the gap between utility and beauty, each one bearing the unmistakable mark of handcrafted authenticity.
Based in Key West, Matt Seikel brings a multi-disciplinary approach to ceramic arts, combining traditional pottery techniques with a modern artistic sensibility. His work reflects a deep connection to the materiality of clay and the meditative process of wheel throwing and hand-building.
As featured in 405 Magazine's "From the Ground Up," Seikel's journey in ceramics represents a dedication to craft and community, creating pieces that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes in everyday life.
Beyond ceramics, Seikel is also a musician, bringing the same attention to rhythm, form, and expression to his work at the pottery wheel.
