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. Please visit the showrooms by clicking below.

Craft Fairs

Westcote Bell Pottery has also participated in shows from Texas to Florida to New Hampshire. Our work has been appreciated by friends and customers across the United States. Transporting your work over thousands of miles involves a host of problems, including transportation, a mobile display, advertising and research. After 22 years we are still finding this a challenge.
