Three Southborough artists will open their studios to shoppers this weekend and next, and for two of them it will be for the last time. Earlier this week I told you about Sunny Window’s Nancy Engel and her impending move to Costa Rica. Turns out after 25 years in town, ceramic artist Cathy Gerson is also moving. Cathy tells me she’ll be leaving for North Carolina this coming April.
In advance of the move, Cathy is holding what she calls “the last and best sale I’ve ever had.” While you’ll still be able to purchase Cathy’s work online, there’s nothing like seeing it in person. Studio hours for Cathy and the other Southborough artists are indicated below.
