Lyn Rein and Donna Johnson, studio #12

Greetings from MODNordicArts featuring mother and daughter Donna Johnson and Lyn Rein.  The studio spaces of Lyn’s shown here are looking busy which is a nice way of saying they could use a good cleaning.  We are getting ready for your visit to the she-shed showroom that made its debut on last year’s tour.   Video    

Tami Resler, Studio #11

Tami has been making fun, accessible pottery and sculpture for over two decades. “My goal is always to create something that will make the viewer want to know more. Art should be touched, used and enjoyed. I surround myself with art that I love and I hope to provide that same feeling to others.” From functional mugs and lidded containers to purely decorative sculpture, Tami aims to make art that everyone can enjoy.      

Sandy Moen, Studio #11

I love watercolor and it’s been my inspiration into art. I have an area in my home filled with my photos, reference material and lots of supplies! I take photos wherever I go. No pretty flower, rock or scene is safe from me. I’m constantly learning new techniques and mediums. I enjoy taking classes and working with children to share my love of art.

Fall brings us  cooler days, colorful(?) leaves and the ArTour!  We are all learning to live cautiously with covid, but the desire to return to a ‘somewhat normal’ is growing.  Those of us on the ArTour have been working to create items that will excite you,  We hope Mother Nature will do her part and share a gorgeous Fall weekend for everyone to enjoy. My clay creations are whimsical and/or functional.  Lots of dishware and bowls for everyday use plus my pieces employing leaves in their design.  I began my clay-time with a Faribault Art Center pottery class years ago … Continue reading →

Annie Larson, Studio #1

This year I have continued to concentrate on perfecting my wood cutting skills and am making more Viking Shield earrings and necklaces. I have also started playing with transferring Norwegian knitting patterns into beaded earrings. And I have a new collection of simple earrings that I am calling “earrings for my mom”. I will be a guest at Eureka Pots again this year. We are number one on the tour map. Follow me at: Facebook: Sleepy Bean Studio Instagram: @sleepybeanstudio Website: Sleepy-bean.square.site

I love the outdoors and nature. I hope to call people’s attention to the environment and how beautiful it is. Emphasizing what pleasure we get from nature and the outdoors is my main focus. When I was an artist in the city, I craved nature and took my inspiration from what little of the natural world I could find there. Now that I’m living out in the countryside I am surrounded and immersed, delighted to have widened my chance to see and find forms in nature.

I am a self taught painter in acrylics and oil, often times drawing inspiration from nature, always striving to apply different techniques.

Char Johnson, Studio #10 For as long as I can remember, nature has held a special place in my life.  Whether it is animals, insects, reptiles or plant life, natures wonders have woven themselves into my spirit and are reflected in my art.  My love of nature photography is the inspiration for many of my pieces. As a child, and into adulthood, small wonders have enthralled me.  I can often be found examining various bushes, plants, water puddles and tree bark for natures most tiny, overlooked jewels, capturing them in macro.  In turn, many of my creations, both pottery and needle … Continue reading →

Sue Hammes Knopf, Studio #5

I make jewelry on the Top Floor of the McClaughry Building, also known as the old opera house in Northfield. For over 25 years I have worked in the same spacious studio, #305.  The studio space overlooks Division Street and the Cannon River and has great natural light. In the earlier years my studio was a shared space, a group of women Artists collaborated and formed, Artshare Studio. We gathered and made art.  Over the years lives changed and Artists moved on until it was just me creating art work in #305. I make original, contemporary hand-woven jewelry. After practicing … Continue reading →
