Westcote Bell Pottery and Studio

Westcote Bell Pottery was established in 1983 in a small rural village South of London, England. Co-founders Vaughan Smith and Jacqueline M. Cohen are a husband and wife team. They both taught school for 5 years until they returned to the United States in 1985. Their move to Mansfield, Ohio, where they set up a new studio lasted two years. Jacqueline then started a masters program at Ohio State University in Columbus. Vaughan set up a new studio in German Village, Columbus , Ohio. Their new studio thrived and expanded, they sold through 100 galleries and museums, while exhibiting in craft shows across the Eastern United States. In 1994 they moved to a small rural village called High Falls in New York State, 90 miles north of Manhattan. They moved into a 200 year old Eyebrow colonial and built a studio/gallery. After 14 years the gallery and studio have been expanded to include a separate kiln building to house a large gas kiln, and there are now three showrooms. The original showroom displays the functional tableware and gifts, Jacqueline has a separate showroom to display her paintings and children’s book illustrations, the third is for the sinks, tiles and mirrors.
