Springtime in Minnesota. It’s been a long time coming. A very long & cold Winter and a delayed Spring. So it was a a wonderful Spring day on the tour. Lots of pots with lots of flowers! And lots of vases fulfilling their destiny!!! So here’s a quick trip around the tour, studio by studio, with a wonderful assortment of potters with an assortment of flowers in vases!

Bob Briscoe’s studio… always the first stop of our Tour!
I think Bob Briscoe is wonderful host who has done so much for the Minnesota pottery community. He’s also gathered a great collection of some of my favorite potters like Matt Metz & Suze Lindsay!

Richard Vincent’s studio…

At Will Swanson’s studio…

Linda Christianson’s studio…

Jeff Oestreich’s studio… and with the huge plate glass windows in his studio, the vases & flowers turned into silhouettes!

Connie Mayeron’s studio… which let me just say, first off.. I love the barn!
And the rusty metal pieces that hold the ceramic vases and beautiful forsythia branches!

Guillermo Cuellar’s studio… our last stop of the day…

Here’s a parting question… So when you buy the vase, do you get to keep the flowers???
