Catalina Collectors Blog

Catalina researchers Jane and Dan Austin have contributed an outstanding article on Lucie Watkins (1898-1995) that fills in many details (up till now incomplete) about a unique Catalina artist with her own sense of style. Complete with historic images, it’s a fascinating story about Luci’s life and her pottery creations. She developed her own distinctive wares working with both the Catalina Island endeavor and on her own on the Mainland. Many Catalina collectors find a special place in their homes and their hearts for “Catalina Lucie.”

Where did April and May go? We have some new and exciting (we think) articles coming up so check back soon.

This newly updated excerpt from her “Catalina Island Pottery & Tile: Island Treasures” book was written exclusively for the catalinacollectors.org site and contains historical background information on the Catalina movement and its beginnings. Hope you enjoy!
