Online this year – 28th Annual 2020 Saint Croix Valley Pottery Tour
The 28th Annual 2020 Saint Croix Valley Pottery Tour will not be taking place in Minnesota at the seven host studios this year. After much discussion weighing safety logistics, and the critical need for social distancing, the Saint Croix Valley Pottery Tour will launch an Online Tour this year.
This is not a decision that our community took lightly, and we understand that many of us as potters depend upon The Saint Croix Valley Pottery Tour income to survive. We also know that a wonderful community of pottery lovers anticipate attending this event every year.
To serve this dedicated audience, the Online Tour will offer Web Sales and Virtual Shopping appointments with host and guest artists on the Tour weekend dates, May 8-10, 2020.
The Online Tour will be found at minnesotapotters.com, the Saint Croix Valley Pottery Tour website. It will consist of:
● A list of participating potters with contact information for shoppers to set up virtual appointments. You can chat with artists, see their work and studios, and purchase pottery using video chat.
● A list of participating potters web shops, where a robust selection of beautiful pieces will be published en masse for sale on May 8 at 10 AM
Please check back to the minnesotapotters.com web site in early April when you may begin making virtual shopping appointments with the potters. Follow @stcroixvalleypotterytour on Instagram for previews and updates.
On May 8th web shops will go live at 10:00 a.m Central Daylight Time.
The Saint Croix Valley Pottery Tour hosts and guest potters have prepared a bountiful supply of pots that they have been working on for many months. We were dreaming of seeing you all again here in Minnesota but look forward to seeing you online on Mothers Day Weekend.
We appreciate your support and thank you for your continued patronage.

Opening tomorrow ~ Liquids Creams & Gels
Please join us for the much anticipated online opening of the Liquids, Creams & Gels Opening February 1, High Noon, Toronto, NYC Time!
“Liquids, Cream and Gels,” as you know, is what they ask you to present while passing through the security line at the airport. Well, we are taking that concept to a whole new level by infusing it with ceramic notions of love and other potions and making it for the basis for a show. The curated online show of Liquids, Creams and Gels shall coincide with the frigid month of February that we North Americans dedicate to the complete range of noble to ignoble notions of amour. This exhibition will be ever-so-loosely centered around the time old tradition of vessel-making and containment that we, as ceramic artists, seem to embrace with open, wet and muddy arms. Beyond that it is our hope that the combined concept of vessel + containment + relationships is taken to a whole new level by the participating artists. There is no safety net or zone here…predictable is not welcome, but subversion is a most welcome entity. It is time to explore galore and push the notion of lotions and potions to the limit and make something that addresses this thing called “amorous” and turn it into something deviously glamorous. So please feel free to liberally apply to your eyeballs and sensory spots, this curated lotion of Canadian Ceramic artists both emerging and established…we’re sure their work will heighten your art viewing experience.

Viva Canadian Ceramics!
This exhibition is to be hosted online and in conjunction with the Gynocratic Art Gallery, a fabulously nomadic, Canadian effort directed by Danielle Hogan of Fredericton, New Brunswick and Mariko Paterson of Forage Studios in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
To-kĕn Digital Gallery – get involved – two open calls.
To-kĕn Digital Gallery is
the launching of a nascent idea, an extension of the Graduate Certificate
Program of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design, Fredericton, N.B.
Coming out of many discussions with the participants in the program, around
careers, studio practice, community responsibility, and much more, a desire to
converse with others in Canada came about.

These two-curated Calls to
Show will produce two shows that will be shown and promoted digitally across
Canada. Significant work will be recognized and the opportunity for artist
statements and links to websites will be provided. At the heart of this is the
desire for the participants of the Graduate Certificate Program to reach out
and learn what else is going on in Canada on certain topics of their interest.
It is also an opportunity for the practice and development of both skills in
curating and in writing on work being made today. Your participation is
appreciated.
