For 40 years, ceramic artist Frank Matranga has made his home his studio and gallery in Manhattan Beach, at the southeast corner of Ardmore Avenue and 1st Street. Matranga built the studio in the back of his house to create one-of-a-kind hand-crafted ceramic art for local businesses and individuals. His unique style is made especially clear in his ceramic murals, which he creates for banks and office buildings. The gallery features pots, vases, small murals and other decorative pieces of various sizes, shapes and colors.
