Bird House
Jerry Brown • Stoneware
Artist’s statement: Jerry Brown, a ninth-generation
folk potter, digs his own clay, processes it with a
mule-powered pugmill, and fires his wares in a
groundhog kiln. He specializes in “face jugs,” prized
by today’s collectors. Brown has been honored with
the Alabama Folk Heritage Award and the National
Endowment Heritage Fellowship Award.
