North House Folk School

Z is a ceramic artist and craft-maker from Chicago, with recent roots in Minneapolis, now building home in Grand Marais. After a transformative experience at a sheep slaughter, Z fell in love with butchery and became excited about exploring hide-tanning, leatherwork, and wool processing. In transitioning away from a career in clay, they’ve been called toward new mediums, communities, and digging deeper into their Jewish craft lineage. At any moment you can expect to find them asking questions, eagerly exploring, belly laughing, and root digging.
