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.

“singaporean design studio hans tan studio has developed ‘spotted nonya’, an industrial re-interpretation of the nonya porcelain vessels which are traditional domestic wares native to chinese-peranakans in south asia. produced in collaboration with singaporean creative agency FARM, this contemporary take on the traditional objects transforms the original multicolored surface treatment into a new dotted pattern. the limited edition series of vessels utilizes the resist-dyeing technique that is often applied to dye fabric patterns. hans tan masks the porcelain pieces with the new dotted motif, which is then sandblasted, so that the areas protected are preserved, while the original glazed sections of the exposed areas are erased, revealing the white porcelain which lies beneath.”
