Alongside teaching, Russell continued to create paintings and lino prints. Here he met his wife and together they started exploring Cornwall on family holidays, with the dream to one day move there permanently. This dream became a reality in 2021 when Russell and his family moved to the Little Apple House in Duloe, where he started creating Cornwall-inspired ceramics from the art studio in their garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russell Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57650122654069,"sku":"RUM02","price":605.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2555\/9248\/files\/RUM02.jpg?v=1791978352","url":"https:\/\/bluecoatdisplaycentreshop.com\/products\/queen-mermaid-red-boat-by-russell-martin","provider":"Bluecoat Display Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
