30 Jan 2020
Polk
Local potters are about to get fired up about a new venture located between Amery and Star Prairie. Mark and Barbara Lusardi approached the Polk County Environmental Committee to obtain a permit for Potter’s Without Kilns (PWK).
A conditional use permit was approved unanimously and will allow the PWK studio to host workshops, firings, classes and sales of multiple artists. “It’s such a relief to have gotten the conditional use permit approved as it opens the door on how I finish the studio,” said Mark.
