Big Red Dog at Kentuck CourtyardThe Kentuck Red Dog Potters have grown from five to 30 members in just six years. There is a waiting list to join the group, originally formed from Kentuck’s Clay Co-op. According to a press release, the Kentuck Red Dog Potters’ mission is to perpetuate the art and craft of pottery as a community of artists of all levels who learn, collaborate and create in a cooperative work space. They engage the community and develop appreciation of the arts through classes, demonstrations and displays of members’ work.
