Hi- I’m Shawna Martin! A longtime Lucky Star camper and instructor—fun fact: I have never missed a single year of camp! I love to connect with fellow creatives- or wanna be’s!- by facilitating creative experiences that foster both technical skill and self-expression.
With over nine years of experience teaching art at retreats, workshops, public school, and most recently in my home studio, I bring an exploratory, hands-on approach to my classes and workshops…and lets face it- my life! Recently relocated to San Antonio from Austin, I am partnering with my husband, Blake, to launch the Assisting Hands In-Home Care agency. In 2027 I look forward to teaching less and developing my work more. You can currently find some of my beaded and ceramic jewelry and bolo ties at my sister’s Waco Boutique, Proud Mary, and at Lannai the Shop in Austin. My 2025 obsession was hunting and repurposing vintage towels and handmade quilts into jackets, hats, shorts, and tops! My next goal is to build a custom set of ceramic dishware for our new home, and refine my collage to painting process to create a body of large works and and FINALLY participate in a group or solo show. Whether sending one kid off to college this fall will open the space and time to do this remains to be seen…but I always tell my students: “Good Things Take Time”. Stay tuned….and in the mean time, find joy with friends and make things!
