More Minnesota Craft touring - North House Folk School
Our next stop on our North Shore tour with Carol Sauvion was Grand Marais, where Greg Wright, Director of the North House Folk School, gave us a tour of this incredible craft shool that is open to all comers, and a bit of it's history. My 6 year old son Owen checked out the handmade snowshoes and braided rug in the main classroom overlooking the harbor. The School's boat, the Hjordis, is docked just outside the school's buildings in the harbor.
Visit to Dick & Debbie Cooter's studio 10/19/09
I took Carol Sauvion, the creator of the award-winning PBS series "Craft in America" up to the Arrowhead Region of Minnesota to visit some of our favorite artists and craft-related places on the North Shore. First stop was lunch with Dick and Debbie Cooter - including lunch, and a chance to see Dick's brand new, two-chamber kiln. He expects the first firing to happen in November, and we can't wait to see how it works! Debbie had a rainbow-colored blanket up on her loom the day we stopped in. Carol and I are both still dreaming about the homemade squash soup and savory crackers that Debbie served... and the glorious colors of the north country Fall!
