A LITTLE HISTORY

Ferrin Gallery, was located in Northampton, MA, a college town in Western Massachusetts, for over twenty years. It shared its location with Pinch Pottery, a shop that featured functional ceramics and affordable handmade objects. Established in 1979, Pinch Pottery began as a studio and showroom with founding partners, Leslie Ferrin, Mara Superior and Barbara Walch. In 1987 Ferrin Gallery was established when the business moved to Main Street. Donald Clark joined the team in 1990. In Northampton, Ferrin Gallery showed work in ceramics from local and regional artists, periodic theme shows of work in all media and specialized in contemporary teapots. In July, 1999, the combination shop and gallery formally separated, with the Ferrin Gallery relocation to Lenox, MA. Renovation of the space in Northampton took place and the shop reopened with a new name, P!NCH. In February of 2006, P!NCH was sold to Jena Sujat. In 2004, Ferrin Gallery took over the space occupied in Lenox, MA by the Ute Stebich Gallery and began showing painting, photography and mixed media sculpture and continued the tradition of both solo and thematic group shows. In June 2007, the gallery opened a 2600 sq ft space in downtown Pittsfield. and closed the Lenox location in the fall of 2007. During the "off season" the gallery participates in national art fairs in Miami, Palm Beach, Chicago and New York.

Ferrin Gallery remains committed to state-of-the-art convenience and the efficiency of web based communications.
