Press Release: Prominent Minnesota Potter Featured at MN Pottery Festival Weekend of Demonstrations and Hands-on Clay Activities

PROMINENT MINNESOTA POTTER FEATURED AT MN POTTERY FESTIVAL 

WEEKEND OF DEMONSTRATIONS AND HANDS-ON CLAY ACTIVITIES

 

HUTCHINSON, MN — Thirty-five potters from across North America will be on display at the 8th annual Minnesota Pottery Festival in Hutchinson, MN the weekend of July 27th and 28th.

The 2019 Featured Potter is Peter Jadoonath from Shafer, Minnesota. Peter says, “drawing and animation is the foundation of my art making life. I am quite shy at my core and drawing is a method for me to interpret the world and my life experiences.  I enjoy the challenge of making pottery shapes that act as a vehicle for me to express these ideas.” When asked what keeps him going he says, “it’s not a single act of inspiration, but more so just the act of going out to the studio and working. Although, I  am inspired by things that are often quiet and consistent within daily life. Things such as manhole covers, cryptid creatures, music, tools, textiles, texture, traversing, leverage, labor, language, learning, hair styles, humor, and horizon lines.” Peter’s pottery is made on a treadle wheel, carved, and fired in a gas kiln at his St. Croix Valley studio.

Also at this year’s Festival are 21 additional Minnesota potters and 13 from other states as far away as North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas. The festival welcomes potters attending for the first time including: Deborah Barce, Victoria, MN; George Blair, New Albin, IA; Joel Froehle, Northfield, MN; Chad Jerzak, Nowthen, MN; JD Jorgenson, Kimball, MN; Megan Mitchell, Kimball, MN; Alexa McAdams, Minneapolis, MN; and David Swenson, Minneapolis, MN.

Each year the Festival promotes an Emerging Artist that is in the beginning of their clay career. Jessica Gotkin, Minnetonka received the honor, and has her entry fees waived. Jessica graduated in 2015 with a BA in Art (with an emphasis in ceramics) from the University of Minnesota. For the past few years she has been heavily focused on her pottery and developing her voice within the art and crafting of the material. Jessica said, “I am honored and thrilled to be a part of this amazing event.”

The Festival provides an excellent day trip for clay-lovers, families, and collectors. Entrance and parking are free, there is a complimentary golf cart shuttle available and many dedicated handicap parking spaces. The two days are filled with on-site raku firing, Pottery Olympic competitions, ceramic technique demonstrations, and a Kids’ Station where children of all ages can get their hands dirty. On-site we offer three complimentary electric vehicle charging stations (one universal and two Tesla).

Food and beverages for sale provided by area favorites: Crow River Winery and Lola’s of New Ulm.

The Minnesota Pottery Festival takes place on the grounds of the Clay Coyote Gallery & Pottery, just one hour West of the Twin Cities. The backdrop includes thirty acres of conservation prairie land, two ponds, half-mile trails, and beautiful Todd Lake in the distance.

The Minnesota Pottery Festival is a nonprofit organization, it’s mission is to provide a venue for quality clay artists to educate and engage with an increasingly knowledgeable public by raising the appreciation and understanding of pottery to help broaden the depth and breadth of ceramic arts in Minnesota.

This activity is made possible, in part, by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council (SMAC) thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. The Minnesota Pottery Festival Board would also like to thank our generous supporters: Continental Clay Company, Crow River Winery,  Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, Minnesota Clay Company, Smith-Sharpe Fire Brick Supply, Shimpo Ceramics, and all of our generous individual donors and volunteers.

Things to do this weekend (April 27, 28 & 29, 2018)

April 25, 2018 By Morgan

It’s hump day and you know what that means … I’m thinking about what I want to do this weekend  (April 27, 28 & 29, 2018). There are so many fun art activities on the horizon, it’s a good thing my lawn’s still frozen. No guilt.

First up, right here in Hutchinson, there’s a new event called Minted Patina Market, a thrifty show featuring upcyclers, local creators, and some fun food and beverage options. It’s going to be at the McLeod County Fairgrounds on Friday, April 27th from 10am to 6pm and Saturday, April 27th from 9am to 3pm. It’s free to get in, unless you want to go early before the crowds which you can do for $15; parking is also free.

If you’re coming to Hutchinson for this fun event, stop by the Clay Coyote on your way to or fro… we’re located just 4 ½ miles north of Hutch on Highway 15 (only a 15 minute drive from the Fairgrounds).

The Gallery is full of new pottery, handcrafted jewelry, blown glass, metal sculptures, woven fiber, carved wood, and more. We have the perfect shower and wedding gifts. Remember, mom loves pottery (flowers wilt).

While you’re out and about check out Prairie Haven’s occasional sale (also just north of Hutchinson). Jane and her crew have some beautiful home furnishings. I’ve got a few pf her gorgeous end tables, pillows, rocking chairs, and benches in my home. And her husband makes wine barrel art including lamps, tables, and wall hangings.

Also, this weekend is the St. Paul Art Crawl. Many of our favorite Twin Cities Artists will have their wears on display at galleries around town. Some of the past MN Pottery Festival potters will be hosting open houses … stop by Caufield Clayworks or Front Ave Pottery & Tile to name a few.

We’re going to try to get to all of these events. And we’re planning dinner at Alma Cafe (recently rated as one of the 50 best new restaurants in the USA by Bon Appétit).

Whew, that’s a pretty fun weekend!
