Join Janel, Will, and five distinguished guest potters for this annual autumn event. Experience the fall colors as you drive through the upper St. Croix River valley. Check out the great variety and newest pots made by some of the region’s outstanding potters.
Also: On the same weekend of October 3-5, 2025, at Matt Krousey’s nearby studio Matt welcomes guest potters Adam Gruetzmacher, Hironobu Nishitateno, Kip O’Krongly, Karin Kraemer, and David Swenson to his Annual Fall Sale.

Our web shops are closed for a while, until we restock after the fall sale.

Janel Jacobson moved to Sunrise, Minnesota in March of 1975 at the age of 24 years. She has lived here now for 50 years. Will Swanson, husband, has lived here for 40 years. Some of the pots made this year will have the commemorative stamp on the pot bottoms. The stamp came late, so most of the pots made for this Tour event may not have the stamp.

GENERATIONS : A selection of pieces that Janel saved as archives for many years are posted for purchase in the Generations Shop.

Sunrise MN Pottery is the studio website and online sales shop for potters Will Swanson and Janel Jacobson. We have lived and worked in the small rural town of Sunrise, Minnesota since 1975.
