Kristi Downing

Grand Marais, MN
Kristi began potting in the 1960s, but it is only since "retiring" in 1998 that she has been able to pursue her dream in earnest. Her studio and raku kiln are located on the Lake Superior shore just east of Grand Marais. In 2002 Kristi and her raku firing were featured on two Twin Cities television stations: Channel 45, "Environmental Journal," and Channel 5, "On The Road with Jason Davis." She is one of 14 artists on the fall Duluth-to-Thunder Bay Crossing Borders Art and Studio tour.
