The Turnpike Road Pottery is closed.
The kiln has been torn down and the studio emptied of all pottery and equipment.
The house is sold and we have moved to Wake Robin in Shelburne VT.
A number of sculptures, both clay and bronze, will be available through Cynthia-Reeves in Walpole NH, and Ferrin Contemporary in North Adams MA.
Sara, at 952 Lexington Ave in NYC, has the last of my pottery and flower arranging vessels.
Thanks for all of your support over the last 55 years, 47 of them in Marlboro.
The website remains as an archive. An online catalogue section has been added where a number of “flipbooks” offer additional archive content.
Malcolm Wright
An exciting note for collectors is the secondary market availability of some Malcolm Wright work. Recently 1stdibs.com presented a beautifully fired small sculpture made in 2003 and offered by a gallery in San Francisco.
