Dear Leslie,

When I lived in Manhattan, I worked both in the studios at
Marymount College (Lex and 70's or 60's) and the 92nd St. Y (Lex and ...yep)
Both were good, but I would definately reccommend the Y. It was excellent.
The atmosphere, teachers, workshops, materials, availablility was superb.
I made good pots there patially because the humor was always so high.
Both studios supported thrown and handbuilt work, both were cone 9 stoneware
studios.

Do not know how things are today, as that was in or around 1982 ish to 1986.

Good luck,
Alisa in Denmark
