I have known Alison Palmer for over 50 years. During our time at John Jay High School in Cross River NY we shared a love for ceramics and became friends while working in our school’s ceramic arts department.
Over the past 17 years we have kept in touch through my participation in the many inspiring workshops that Alison and Steve provide in their beautiful ceramic studio. I believe these workshops and my participation with firings in both the wood and soda kilns were instrumental in my creative development in my pottery. I am now the studio manager and a teacher at the Railyard Arts Studio in Croton Falls, NY.
Recently one of my pottery jugs was jury selected to be displayed in the New York State Museum in Albany, NY, and I believe this would not have been possible without Alison and Steve’s inspiring workshops.
Please allow them to receive their home occupation permit so they can continue to offer these inspiring workshops to more artists in the ceramic community. Thank you.
