Join Kordula Coleman from 11am – 1 pm on Saturday, October 17 th as she showcases her unique earthenware pottery process. Kordula starts by hand shaping and carving her clay peices before cutting them up and hollowing them out. She then fuses the pieces back together and lets them dry before firing.

For this demonstration Kordula will be showing how she makes her very popular little birds, as shown in the webpage image.

Kordula Coleman (she/her) is a ceramic artist whose work explores the numerous possibilities of showing inner processes by a certain pose or gesture of the body. Her pieces are detailed and close to nature. These details, especially of the face, enable her to feel connected with the piece. She has to work on the facial expression of the piece until they “click”.

Kordula focuses on emotions and subjects that inspire her and make her appreciate life with all its turns, even if some pieces hint at darker states of mind. A sculpture idea often comes to her while listening to music, watching movies, or even just from hearing an evocative phrase or statement.

This pop-up is free and open to the public and will be located in the Lanesboro Arts Gallery.

Kordula’s demonstration coincides with the last Lanesboro Area Art Trail weekend of 2026! Local artists welcome visitors to shop and see their studio spaces from 10 am – 5 pm Friday, October 16th and Saturday, October 17th.
