Artists of Studio 217 @ Cutler Mills
Cait Marchetti Jewelry- Illustrated Enamel Jewelry
Cait Marchetti creates illustrations and fine jewelry. Her work, illustrated enamel fine jewelry depicting New England flora and fauna, has a story of growth on both sides. For example, the Potential Series narratives feature an organism on the back side in an early stage of life, such as an egg in a nest, while on the front is the same organism if allowed to grow to its full potential, such as a Chickadee. Each are hand painted and drawn with glass fused on glass, so no two are exactly alike, and are heirloom quality.
Cait is a co-founder of Studio 217 along with Hayley Perry. Cait is a New England illustrator and jeweler specializing in enamel. She received her BFA in Jewelry and Metals and her minor in Drawing from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 2015. During and after school she worked as a fine jewelry sales associate, and shortly after graduating she founded Cait Marchetti Jewelry. When her work was well received and she decided to participate in more art festivals. Cait left fine jewelry sales to focus on her own business, and has been doing festivals throughout NE since then.

2017-2018 Previous Artists of Studio 217
*No longer part of Studio 217*
Cheryl Perry- Cheryl Perry Pottery
*Find her in Studio 213A of Cutler Mills, 30 Cutler Street*
Cheryl’s work is often described as refined whimsy. Inspired by henna designs, Cheryl carefully molds each piece by hand, adding delicate clay pearls and extrusions that are hand-coiled and carefully applied by scoring and vinegar. The hand-painted glazes are meticulously brushed on and sponged off to complement the design of each piece. Each of Cheryl’s exquisite pieces is an original - created without a pattern and completely by hand ensuring that no pieces are exactly alike.
Hayley Perry- Loop by Loop Studio
*Find her down the hall in Studio 216 A, as of October 2018*
Emily Voutes is a visiting artist of Studio 217 for summer 2018.
