The Arts Center of St. Peter has expanded its Fourth of July art exhibition into a two-day event in Minnesota Square Park. Most of the artists live in the region and are members of the center.

Trygve Beckel’s pottery includes lots of curves, from sloping cups to pots with stylized dimples to plates half-folded onto themselves. The 21-year-old says he was exploring pottery as a career but now wants to be an art historian.

Artists, and their work, on display

By Dan Linehan
The Free Press

Sue Peoples, of Owatonna, creates art made of beads, but not the kind you can string together after a stop at the Hobby Lobby.

Within every work, she tries to include a piece of glass she’s fashioned herself.

One method involves slim cylinders of glass that are heated with an oxygen torch, then wrapped around a steel rod to form interesting shapes.

Another technique is called “fused” glass, and it involves sheets of glass cut into shape.

The art fair is using professional artists, but at the same time it’s trying to make their art more accessible, less intimidating.

In Peoples’ work there is perhaps the least threatening item: Tiny dog bones fashioned out of glass as jewelry to dangle off Rover’s collar.
