The Annual St Croix Valley Pottery Tour and Sale has welcomed visitors annually on Mothers’ Day weekend to seven pottery studios in Chisago County. Each studio/pottery is just a short drive from the others allowing some or all to be visited in a single day. The tour began as an outgrowth of potters' individual studio sales. It is hosted by eight of Minnesota’s career studio pottery professionals; including invited guests, there may be upwards of 60 artists included. Studios are located in the upper St. Croix River valley, less than a one hour drive from Minneapolis and St. Paul.
