I’m Courtney Pistilli, the ceramicist behind Sidewalk Ceramics.
I have long been inspired by the unique architecture and composition of cities. I currently work out of my home studio in Philadelphia and draw much of my inspiration from the city where I live. I grew up visiting my father’s print shop and now employ many printmaking techniques in the production of my handmade pottery. I enjoy handbuilding and wheel-throwing alike, finding the rhythms and demands of each practice to be equally engaging and challenging.
