Summer 2026: The Lumps of Clay Studios Tour!

The sun is finally out, the kiln is humming, and my studio is currently overflowing with a tiny army of ceramic birds and whimsical monsters. I’ve been busy preparing for a packed summer season, and I am so excited to finally share where you can find me over the next few months.

If you’ve been looking for a new garden cottage, a "mini monster" for your desk, or one of my new local bird characters, here is a look at my summer schedule so far.

Upcoming Summer Shows

Stone Arch Bridge Festival June 20–21 Minneapolis, MN

Lemonade Concert & Art Fair June 25 SCSU Campus, St. Cloud

Loring Park Art Festival July 25–26 Loring Park, Minneapolis

Powderhorn Art Fair August 1–2 Powderhorn Park, Minneapolis

St. Cloud Art Crawl August 14 Downtown St. Cloud

Millstream Arts Festival August 30 St. Joseph, MN

A Few Highlights

The Twin Cities Classics

I’m heading back to Minneapolis for some of the biggest events of the year. From the iconic river views at Stone Arch to the beautiful ponds of Loring Park, these shows are always a blast. And of course, Powderhorn is the perfect place to celebrate the eclectic, artsy spirit of the community.

Staying Close to Home

For my local friends, I’ll be right here in the St. Cloud area quite a bit! The Lemonade Fair is always a highlight of the early summer (and yes, the lemonade is mandatory), and I’ll be capping off August with the Millstream Arts Festival in St. Joseph.

New Work on the Way

I’ve been hard at work on my "300 Birds" project, sculpting local species I’ve spotted right outside my studio window. Each one is hand-built with its own personality—no molds here!—so if you have a favorite local bird, come see if I’ve finished yours yet.

See You There!

There are a few other shows still in the works, so keep an eye on this space for updates. Whether you're a long-time collector or just looking for a whimsical gift, I can’t wait to see your faces and share what I’ve been working on.
