Wendy Eggerman—2023 Emerging Artist Award

Each year the Festival promotes an Emerging Artist that is in the beginning of their clay career.

This year, Wendy Eggerman, of St. Paul, MN received the honor, and will have her entry fees waived.

Originally from Minnesota, Wendy first fell in love with pottery while attending Warren Wilson College in the mountains of North Carolina. Since then, her work has been exhibited nationally and she has been an active ceramic artist in a variety of studios. Wendy’s pottery is primarily influenced by her love of antiques, especially hobnail glass. Wendy has a studio at her home in Saint Paul, MN. When not making pottery she can most likely be found at a local brewery, or antique store.
