MINNESOTA POTTERY STUDIO & ART GALLERY TO BE HIGHLIGHTED NATIONALLY DURING SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, SEPTEMBER 13-15, 2021

September 13, 2021 By Morgan

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MINNESOTA POTTERY STUDIO & ART GALLERY TO BE HIGHLIGHTED NATIONALLY 

DURING SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, SEPTEMBER 13-15, 2021

Hutchinson, MN — The Clay Coyote Gallery & Pottery has been selected as one of 10 businesses from across the country (and the only one in the Midwest) to be highlighted during the Small Business Administration’s National Small Business Week Virtual Summit, taking place September 13-15, 2021. 

This year’s Summit will focus on the resilience of America’s entrepreneurs and the renewal of the small business economy as they build back from the economic crisis brought on by a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. 

In March of 2020, like many other small businesses, the Clay Coyote had to cease production and send their potters home. With the help of funds from the CARES Act, support from the Small Business Administration (SBA) and local SBA partners, the Clay Coyote was able to continue to pay their employees even when they couldn’t come to work. 

Now, the potters are back at their wheels, the business is open in a new, larger space, and the staff has grown.The Clay Coyote’s success story showcases how small businesses are not alone, and when crisis hits, there is a nationwide network of support to tap. This small, central Minnesota pottery studio and art gallery leveraged all of these resources and came out stronger. 

Owner, Morgan Baum shares, “We’re thrilled to be selected. During the pandemic there have been many moments where we didn’t know if we would make it. Like so many others, we need revenue coming in so that we can keep operating, and the pandemic created new threats that we had never considered. Because of the funding and support from the SBA, we were able to keep the lights on and our employees paid, and that peace of mind allowed us to get creative and launch new products and customer engagement initiatives that have helped us thrive over the last year.” 

There are over 526,000 small businesses in Minnesota. Nationwide, more than half of all Americans either own or work for a small business, which creates nearly two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.  

“This year more than ever, we’re excited to honor entrepreneurs and small business owners during Small Business Week for their grit and perseverance. These traits shone brightly through the pandemic’s challenging times,” said Brian McDonald, SBA’s Minnesota district director. “The resilience of small businesses like Clay Coyote continues to help Minnesota’s economy and our communities bounce back.” 

Learn more about the National Small Business Week Virtual Summit hosted by the U.S. Small Business Administration, and join the conversation at https://www.sba.gov/national-small-business-week. Attendance is free and small businesses can learn new strategies, meet other entrepreneurs, and chat with industry experts.

Important Now More Than Ever to Shop Small on Small Business Saturday!

November 27, 2020 By Kylie Lawson

Covid-19 has caused a whirlwind of changes for everyone this year, especially to small business owners. Small businesses everywhere were hit hard with financial difficulties with the shutdown. While we’ve remained resilient during these times, we still need your support now more than ever.

Small Business Saturday is right around the corner on November 28th this year. This is such an important day for everyone to come together and support local businesses who have been impacted by the virus.

Shop Small Saturday was started in 2010 by American Express during the recession to help encourage local shopping to help communities thrive during the tough times. The date is always the Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage local shopping for the holiday season.

Because the first Shop Small Saturday was such a success, the following year in 2011, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution in support of the day. All 50 states participated and even got a shout out from the then President.

Some statistics from 2019 show that for the 10th Annual Small Business Saturday, an estimated $19.6 billion in spending was recorded, a record high! This goes to show that when shoppers come together to support local businesses, it really makes a difference!

You might not realize it, but every time you grab a coffee from your locally-owned café or buy handmade art from a local shop, it helps business owners and the community it serves thrive. In fact, American Express stated that for every dollar spent at a local business in the United States, 67 cents stays within the local community. That’s awesome!

This November 28th, support the Clay Coyote! We have handmade gifts for everyone on your list. Our new “hot” item just in time for holiday gifting is the Flameware Pizza Stone. This Stone can take the heat, going right on the grill or super hot oven! Not a pizza fan? Get creative by trying cookies, pancakes, appetizers, and more on this “sheet-pan-like” stick resistant surface.

Press Release: Hutchinson Company Selected by MN Super Bowl Host Committee For Business Connect Resource Guide

HUTCHINSON COMPANY SELECTED BY MN SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE
FOR BUSINESS CONNECT RESOURCE GUIDE  

HUTCHINSON, MN — The Clay Coyote Gallery and Pottery was recently selected by the MN Super Bowl Host Committee to be included in the Super Bowl 52 Business Connect Resource Guide.

More than 1,000 Minnesota companies participated in a series of workshops, networking events, and “pitch days” to showcase their unique products and services. Last week, the MN Super Bowl Host Committee narrowed the field to 420 businesses to include in the Resource Guide. Categories included Entertainment, Equipment Rentals, Promotional Items, Decorations, Food & Catering, Audio Visual, Beverages, and more. The Clay Coyote is the only handmade one-of-a-kind pottery company listed in the Resource Guide.

Earlier this year, the Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce and Tourism became aware of the opportunity for local Minnesota businesses to put their products and services in front of the MN Super Bowl Host Committee. They shared the opportunity with Hutchinson companies and the Clay Coyote decided to go for it.

In May, the Clay Coyote team had the opportunity to pitch their “ultimate tailgating tool,” the Clay Coyote Flameware Grill Basket to the NFL and the MN Super Bowl Host Committee. The grill baskets are made from Clay Coyote Flameware, a special type of pottery that goes directly on a stove top or over a grill. Most pottery cannot go on direct heat, in fact across the United States only three other potters market pottery that can do this and the Clay Coyote is the only one who makes grill basket out of clay.

What happens next? Morgan Baum, Clay Coyote Owner and CEO, says “Who knows, we’re game for anything. The Business Connect Resource Guide is the gateway to so many opportunities. While we hope that the MN Super Bowl Host Committee and their partners want to order a bunch of commemorative grill baskets, they may reach out with a totally different request. Whatever the ask, we’re ready to bring our A-game.”

This Fall, the Clay Coyote is planning a Super September event that will feature their Grill Baskets and other fun tailgating ideas. Stay tuned to www.claycoyote.com and to the Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce and Tourism site to learn more about the event.

Business Connect Resource Guide

According the the MN Super Bowl Host Committee, “The Business Connect Resource Guide is a comprehensive guide for local, diverse procurement activities surrounding Super Bowl LII. Included in the Resource Guide are selected business listings encompassing a wide variety of products and services. Each business that is listed has been vetted and qualified by Business Connect staff to ensure adequate ability, capacity and knowledge to meet the needs of Super Bowl LII stakeholders; including the NFL, Host Committee and their partners and contractors.”

Meet Katie & Levi

August 24, 2016 By Morgan

Katie Teesdale and Levi Yankosky new potters at Clay Coyote StudioIn 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.
