MOLLY BERNSTEIN

Molly Bernstein is a potter from Cape May, New Jersey. She has studied ceramics in different capacities at the Kyoei-Gama Ceramics School in Tokoname, Japan, The Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York, and received a BFA from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She makes coil-formed vessels that emphasize volume and highlight the materiality of clay. Molly believes handmade objects serve as a portal of connection to help bring us together. Molly is a first-year Core Fellow at Penland.
