- 1:00Using Duluth clay to make beautiful artAnna Metcalfe, a Minneapolis-based ceramic artist and University of Minnesota Twin Cities alumna, unveiled her new permanent art installation in A.B. Anderson Hall at the University of Minnesota Duluth in March. The artwork is a wall-mounted mosaic of geometric ceramic shapes and sculptures featuring animals and plant species unique to the region. The clay used to form the artwork is also specific to the region, and is sourced from the grounds at Glensheen Mansion, Brighton Beach, and a core sediment sample from the bottom of Lake Superior near Isle Royale. The overall goal of the project, Metclafe said, is to celebrate the resilience of the ecosystem along the North Shore of Lake Superior.Learn more: https://news.d.umn.edu/articles/reliquary-north-shore
