PINCH
Everything at PINCH is a work of art. Art to wear. Art for the home.
Pinch is a beautiful and fun artisan gallery that was founded as Pinch Pottery in 1979 in Northampton, Massachusetts. The three founding potters—Leslie Ferrin, Mara Superior, and Barbara Walch, all of whom continue to work as potters today—were recent graduates from the University of Massachusetts seeking a place where they could make pottery, teach classes, and showcase the work they and others created. Pinch Pottery first opened its doors in the basement of Thorne’s Marketplace.
