Jack’s Marine is no more.
The legendary Bridge Street shop, known for both boat needs and kid-centric summer toys and pool floats, was purchased from Mike and Camille Anglin in late 2021 by the Soloviev Group. This summer, it’s to become Maju, a studio managed by artist Jude Amsel.
That’s according to Hayden Soloviev, who handles the Group’s properties on Shelter Island, which includes The Chequit and the Shelter Island Heights Pharmacy. The marina behind Jack’s will now be known as Rian Harbour.
Amsel brings yet more panache to Bridge Street. A photographer, ceramist and glass artist, Amsel’s work has been exhibited in galleries and is represented in museums, public spaces and in notable private collections. She was selected by the State of New York to create a commemorative work of the fallen firefighters of September 11, 2001, which is a permanent memorial on display at the Fire Museum in New York City.
No stranger to Shelter Island, Amsel has also conducted summer ceramics classes at the Shelter Island History Museum, and a flyer in the window at her new island-based spot indicates that this will continue in the former Jack’s Marine. Both adult and Mommy and Me five-week summer ceramics classes given by Amsel are booking now for July and August. Email [email protected] for more information.
Maju is located at 188 North Ferry Road, Shelter Island Heights.
