Pine Island Potter’s Guild Show Saturday at Koucky Studios
The Pine Island Potters Guild is looking forward to a full season of monthly shows and sales in the courtyard of Koucky Studios. November’s show will be held this Saturday, the 9th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Now in its 11th season, this outdoor venue hosts local artisans showing hand-made pottery, crafts and painting in various mediums. The show welcomes artisans who have not shown in the past and those who have been showing since the Guild Show’s inception.
It is going to be a great season of creativity. Please plan to attend, say hello, enjoy the community spirit and support our local artisans.
The Guild shows will continue the second Saturday of each month from this upcoming show through April 12, 2025.
Some of this month’s featured mediums are pottery, jewelry, hand-stitched leatherwork, woodworking, ready-to-wear art, island T-shirts, tropical-themed home décor, paintings and prints, note cards, books by local authors, locally made gourmet jams, hot sauces and honey, hand-painted table linens and more!
At 11 a.m., potter Chuck Koucky and some of his students will demonstrate the art of firing horsehair pottery. The random lines and patterns, the signature of this style, are created when applying strands of hair from a horse’s mane or tail onto the surface of a hot raku clay pot that has just been removed from the kiln. No two pieces are ever the same on these beautiful and unique pots.
If you are interested in Pottery Classes from beginners to advanced, talk with Chuck Koucky about his class schedule. Classes are now held year-round in the studio. Be sure to ask for a tour!
Soak up some Pine Island Spirit, relax in the island-style atmosphere of the courtyard at Koucky Studios, and enjoy talking with all the artisans about their beautiful and unique products.
