Courtney Martin is a studio potter living and working in the mountains of North Carolina near Penland. Courtney throws and hand builds pots using NC clay (from STARworks Ceramics), and fires them to cone 10/11 in her wood kiln. Her pots are made for daily use and enjoyment. She shares her home with her husband (glassblower John Geci), two kids, and two dogs.
We love visitors! Please call/text for an appointment.
Here at Geci / Martin Studios we aim to be anti-racist. We are a work in progress and we commit to this ongoing work. “The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward.” — Ijeoma Oluo
Our business strives to make ethical and considerate choices. We recycle materials from our community to ship, we power our home and much of the glass shop with solar, we avoid single use plastics whenever possible, and we give to organizations fighting climate change, abortion funds, our local animal shelter, and orgs working towards equity.
