	original homestead Raku Firing Demonstrations	From the functional to the decorative, handmade pots are as timeless as the human community. But just as people have lost touch with the source of their food in this fast-pace, anonymous world, so are they losing touch with the value and beauty of everyday objects, made by hand, that sustain them. Fourteen outstanding Minnesota potters - Jan Bilek, Carl Erickson, Kirk Freeman, Steve Hemingway, Michael Howland, Peter Jadoonath, Diane Mallu, Ernest Miller, Dick Morse, Dyann Myers, Beth Ryan, Lynnea Schwieters, Marjorie Wade and Scott Zeinert - will show their wares and explore the universal connections created when their work passes from the maker to the user in a gesture of shared purpose and meaning. The annual Rustic Road 13 Pottery Event and Sale, founded by potter, Beth Ryan and held at her historic St. Croix County homestead, has been steadily growing in each of its six years. Both returning and first-time visitors consistently describe the event as an "inspiring and informative experience." From the art-filled barn to poetry readings in the gardens, music in the air, and potter's wheel and raku firing demonstrations throughout the weekend, visitors 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 the autumn colors emerging across the wooded, hilly terrain. Then take this very special opportunity to reconnect to the simple pleasures of everyday living, and each other, through the potter's art. The Rustic Road 13 Pottery Event and Sale is located on one of the numerous Rustic Road scenic drives in the state of Wisconsin at 1148 Troutbrook Road, Hudson, Wisconsin 54016. The hours of the event will be from 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 15th and from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 16th. Participating artists will donate 10% of all sales to Second Harvest Heartland, a local partner in the nation's Food Bank Network.
