In just a few days Katie Teesdale and Levi Yankosky will join the Clay Coyote Team as our first new potters. They’re both coming to the Clay Coyote with the same goal, yet they’ve never met. Much like Tom (Wirt) and Betsy (Price) set out to do almost 25 years ago, they’re trying to launch their small businesses at the Clay Coyote.
The Clay Coyote is a small business incubator for emerging ceramic artists in central Minnesota. We’re different from traditional post-graduate residencies or technical apprentice positions because the Clay Coyote program is designed to help emerging artists launch their small businesses. The program includes hands-on pricing, marketing, and financial mentoring.
The new studio offers three distinct spaces for private work, along with collaborative spaces for detailing, glazing, and firing.
Together, the Emerging Artists and the Clay Coyote team collaborate to grow the next generation of Minnesota potters.
There is still one space remaining for a third emerging artist. Inquiries and more information please email Morgan.
The Cate & Levi Collection is handmade in Toronto, Canada The artist behind Cate & Levi is Josh Title is Josh Title. He says, “ As my wife and I awaited the birth of our first child, I noticed that there was a lack of one of a kind, responsibly made, and beautifully designed products for children. I decided to create a unique collection of products that would be intricately crafted and environmentally responsible. My goal is for these items to leave the softest possible pawprint on our planet.”
