Sited in a small valley (clove) between the Hudson river and the Catskill
mountains, Clove Church was built in 1883. It is a simple summer church,
with small stained glass panels in
the arched windows, and is
surrounded by terraced gardens, an
open field, and a blue-stone
quarry with a spectactular view of
the Catskills.
Fay Wood opened Clove Church Studio in 1999. A lovely light area with a very
high ceiling and original beams, it is a wonderful space for working on both
sculpture and paintings, and provides enough room for a small gallery.
We are open by appointment, or when we are hosting an exhibition. We have
occassionally opened the gardens, as they and our plans have matured.
This year (May 2010) we invited nine local artists of National and International
reputation to site sculpture throughout the gardens, quarry, and field, and to
display paintings (both large scale and small) and smaller sculpture in the studio.
We will provide information about this event as it matures.
