Martiki Research Institute

Funding our scientific endeavors with curated specimens

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the Martiki Research Institute, where chaos meets exploration in a spectacular dance of disorganization! We specialize in discovering the unknown, mainly because our filing system is so chaotic that even finding a stapler is considered a groundbreaking achievement.

At the Martiki Research Institute, our crew consists of disgraced scientists seeking redemption, unpaid interns who have yet to master the art of not tripping over their own feet, and one enthusiastic but slightly confused janitor that are dedicated to uncovering the mysteries of the ocean, as long as we can remember where we put the keys to the pontoon boat research vessel.

Martiki's mission is simple: navigate the tumultuous waters of research with the finesse of a drunken sailor on a stormy night. In our pursuit of knowledge, we've discovered that selling specimens is not just a means of funding; it's a way of life. Our specimens come with stories, some of them even true, and you can own a piece of our nautical misadventures to support our ongoing escapades.

Join us at the Martiki Research Institute, where the sea is our laboratory, the specimens are for sale, and the only thing more unreliable than our methods is our interns' sense of direction. Martiki Research Institute: hoc faciemus scholae fidem

How I Make Mugs

  • Originals

    Hand Sculpted

    All mugs start with a hand-sculpted original

  • Hand Molded

    Hand Molded

    Once the sculpt is complete it’s time to design and make the mold!

  • Glazing

    Hand Glazed

    After firing, mugs are glazed by hand so every piece is unique!
