Studio is open year round
By chance or appointment
English-born ex-university lecturer who became a potter thirty years ago. She specializes in free-form one-of-a-kind handbuilt pieces, some of them very large. Superimposed layers of glazes give her work unusual depth, although the exterior of the large bowls is often left unglazed in order to achieve an organic and sculptural look.
Cecily’s studio is located in an old farmhouse, off the beaten track, with a beautiful view. Her work can also be seen at the Catskill Artists Gallery at 38 Main Street in Liberty. When not creating clay masterpieces she can be found playing musical ones on WJFF-Radio Catskill. The host of Afternoon Classics is also a master of the viola and the tennis racquet.
Directions from Callicoon:
At the blinking light on RT 97 turn up the hill and then immediately right on Hospital Road. Go 9/10 mile to a red dirt road that angles up the hill to the right and follow it to the end. Studio is open year round by chance or appointment.
