Local World Gallery is host to over 20 fantastic artists. Judy Anderson's pottery is prominently featured and is something to behold. Her sgraffito carved images of birds, plants and animals - including Eagles - are delightful, charming and accurate. The walls of the gallery are lined with paintings of recognizable river-town and rural scenes from Stockholm to La Crosse by the late John Meyer of Pepin, WI. Also see stunning Driftless scenes by regional superstar, Plein Air Oil Painter, Hannah Heyer. You will find beautiful silk scarves and up-cycled mittens, wood turnings, soaps, lotions and more.

I make mostly wheel-thrown pottery. I use a method of decoration called "Sgraffito". I scrape through a contrasting surface coating to reveal the design. I take inspiration from the world around me: plants, animals and especially birds, carved into pots ready to use at home. I tend to use images from the Driftless region, but I might also show jellyfish or puffins! My favorite subjects include otters, great-horned owls, butterflies and bats. All my glazes are food-safe and the pieces are microwave and dishwasher safe.
