Exhibition RunsOctober 21 – November 13 Many people are familiar with Minnesota’s strong tradition of functional clay, which developed with acclaimed potter Warren Mackenzie in the early 1950’s. But as the master never could have imagined, an enormous and diverse community of artists, teachers, students, and collectors have emerged from the foundation that he built. Our Minnesota Nice exhibition presents a fine selection of work that illustrates the continually evolving and expanding group of clay artists working in the region, including: Judith Altobell, Margaret Bohls, Richard Bresnahan, Bob Briscoe, Lisa Buck, Linda Christianson, Kelly Connole, Dick Cooter, Guillermo Cuellar, Gary Erickson, Jil Franke, Peter Jadoonath, Sam Johnson, Maren Kloppmann, Warren Mackenzie, Keisuke Mizuno, Mika Negishi Laidlaw, Mike Norman, Jeff Oestreich, Donovan Palmquist, Kristin Pavelka, Irene Saito, Pete Scherzer, Jo Severson, Jason Trebs, and Sue Warner.

This competition is open all artists over the age of 18. All entries must be teapots composed primarily of ceramic materials completed by the artist within the last three years. Up to three entries may be submitted by each artist for the single registration price.
This competition is specifically aimed at small teapots. The teapot as a functional item is believed to have originated in China (perhaps the Yixing area) as a personal drinking vessel. As such, teapots were not large. Over time, the form evolved to suit the desires of the users. This show celebrates the origin and diversity of the teapot. In the spirit of these personal, functional items, all teapots entered in this competition shall not exceed a volume of 16 ounces.
