Handmade pots are as timeless as the human community. Thirteen outstanding Minnesota potters will come together in a celebration of the potter's craft in what has become an annual rite of Fall.

           Now in it's 11th year, the Rustic Road 13 Pottery Event and Sale founded by potter Beth Ryan and held at her historic St. Croix County homestead has been described  as an  "inspiring and informative experience"  by both returning and first time visitors. From the art filled barn, to poetry and music in the gardens, as well as continuous potter's wheel and Raku firing demonstrations, visitors are able to explore this ancient craft through the eyes and hands of contemporary artists.

           People of all ages are invited to come for a few hours or the whole day. Enjoy the drive and autumn colors emerging across the wooded, hilly terrain of the beautiful St. Croix Valley. Then take this very special opportunity to reconnect to the simple pleasures of a shared experience, through the potter's art.

           In memory of our friend and Master Potter, Carl Erickson, 10% of all sales will be donated to Purple Ride raising funds for pancreatic cancer research.
