Winterland is about the craft, process, and ethos of each creative.

Samantha Longley is a ceramic artist from Minneapolis; her porcelain wares are handmade on the potter's wheel and given a unique twist... literally. The soft movement, individual to each piece, is gently and purposefully given while the work is fresh on the wheel. Her work is an exploration of form and a celebration of beauty in the imperfect.

Simple Soaps is a women-owned company based in Saint Paul, MN, founded with the mission of putting better, simpler, more naturally beautiful skin care products into people’s hands. They will be showcasing a variety of bath and body products.

Kelsey Oseid is an illustrator, author, and amateur naturalist based in Minneapolis, MN. Her gouache illustrations focus on natural history subjects like taxonomy, biodiversity, and taxidermy, as well as related subjects like astronomy and the ways humans relate to the natural world.
