Craft – Minneapolis

Anita Phoenix Bio Anita Phoenix has been a clay artist since 2005. In recent years, she has expanded from hand-built sculptures to pottery, including wheel thrown bowls, chalices, urns, plates, ornaments, jewelry, spiritual tools, and other custom creations. Anita laughs when she recalls how “the universe” threw a potter’s wheel and a kiln at her, full force, in an apparent demand that she embrace her calling as an artisan. Having at first reluctantly, and then passionately embraced this call, Anita now has workspaces in her home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota and at a studio in Hopkins, Minnesota. She’s excited to offer one on one pottery classes, small group classes, and custom builds for many different purposes. Anita is a professional healer and ordained priestess. In bringing all of these unique parts of herself together, she is pleased to offer spirituality-based pottery ,and pottery classes designed to facilitate individual healing for survivors of trauma and illness. These classes are individually designed with the student’s needs in mind, and will allow for catharsis, creation of emotionally significant clay mementos, and an individual story of the healing journey. You can purchase Anita’s artwork at a variety of venues, including White Buffalo Spiritual Healing and Gifts, 104 E. Main Street, Anoka, MN, at various conventions and festivals, listed on her calendar, and through her Facebook Page, Willow Phoenix Creations.
