Hey there! I am Courtney Pernell from Raleigh, NC. I make handbuilt pottery- especially mugs, and especially bird mugs! I fell in love with clay during the first class I took at Pullen Art Center in 1999, and have been a potter ever since. Someone once told me that my work needed to be edgier, that it was too happy. I told her life was edgy enough, and this was the work that came out of me. It keeps me balanced and hopefully adds a little magic to the world.
