Drew and Betsy, his wife of 31 years, moved to Pawling from Brooklyn in February 2013. A potter for over two decades, Drew chanced upon the studio in Webatuck Village (Wingdale) that had been vacant for 10 years, and using creativity and a lifetime of building skills, he renovated the entire studio, inside and out. It now offers Drew's handcrafted decorative and functional ceramics in addition to weekly classes and specialty workshops. Betsy works as a Project Coordinator for a global Human Capital Management firm in NYC..
Together, Drew and Betsy work with PawlingTaxCut.org, a non-partisan group working to reduce property taxes and they have attended town and village board as well as the Pawling Joint sewer Commission meetings for the past two years. Betsy is the vice-chair of the Pawling Farmers market as well.
