Current Artists

On View Through October (Ends 10/31)

Mandy Stringer

My students have asserted that I’m obsessed with light. Maybe they’re right. the root of my daughter’s name is latin for “light”. I love building sculptures that involve using light as a medium as I don’t think it’s often considered to be used as one.

Iris Shaker-Check

With the forms, surface textures and the impressions I make on these vessels I express my interactions with the spaces around me as well as the emotions and ideas contained within me.

Grace Iverson

Grace is a Minneapolis based artist with 10 years of experience in ceramics and a frequent dabbler in other mediums. She is excited about creating art and spaces that feel approachable, expressive, and playful.

 

Melissa Johnson

One of the reasons I love to work in clay is the physicality of it. I feel in tune with my surroundings and in touch with myself as I move with and transform the clay.

 

Jenni Fischer

When I learned about the many hand building techniques + skills needed I found a natural fit between creating functional pottery, being artistically creative, + engineering pieces that may be more structurally challenging than meet the eye.

Mary Zeleny

I spend time observing the gentle nuance of nature, captivated by the undulating edges of flower petals, curling back to invite pollinators into a symbiotic floral welcome. My clay vessels mimic subtle traces and minute details in these intriguing forms.

Bee Shoemake

Bee is a queer artist from Minneapolis, passionate about social justice and community development. She stays busy filling orders for individuals and small businesses and would love to make something for you.

Reilly Miller

These pieces bridge the connection of ephemeral touch between myself, my vessels, and the intimacies that exist in my closest human relationships.
