The Hopkinton Center for the Arts has announced it will host an exhibit and sale featuring the handcrafted work of the Primarily Potters collective. The exhibit and sale runs November 21-23, 2014 at the HCA Farmhouse (98 Hayden Rowe Street, Hopkinton, MA 01748). The exhibit runs throughout the weekend, and features an opening ‘Meet the Artists’ public reception on Friday, November 21 from 5:30-7:00 pm.
The Primarily Potters collective is comprised of artists who have been exhibiting their work together for over 10 years. Members include Carol Mecagni, Emily van Nort, Gabrielle Gold, Hana Reilly, Jill Soloway, Martha Gold, Mary Edwards, Susan Kaye and Marilyn O’Connor. The artists have varying styles, but they share the same passion for the creative process and the handmade form. None of these artisans mass produces their wares, and instead enjoys making useful and decorative objects that are unique in design. In a statement, the Primarily Potters have said, "We believe in the beauty and integrity of the hand made experience both for the maker and the user."
