Carl McConnell was born in Chicago in 1926 and studied art in several schools in the United States. During World War II he served in the US Navy during World War II and was based in Brisbane for a time where he met his future wife. After the war, he returned to the United states with his wife, but after a few years returned to Brisbane with his family and continued further art studies at the Brisbane Technical College. McConnell became interested in ceramics during his studies and established his studio in Norman Park in 1954, later moving to Pinjarra Hills in 1959. He taught pottery at the Brisbane Technical College from 1958 to 1963, and then resigned to become a full-time potter. He returned to teach at the College from 1971 to 1974. He died in 2003.
