About

IMG_4187.jpg

My name is Nina Wray & I am the potter behind Moon Dog Studio. My love of pottery began when I was in high school. I was lucky enough to go to a school with a solid art program & two pottery studio classrooms. I took every pottery class offered & spent many lunch hours & after school hours in the pottery classroom. I dreamt of the day I’d drive around the country, touring craft fairs, with my loyal dog in the passenger seat. Somewhere along the road my love of travel & the outdoors took over. The transient nature of my career in experiential education made it difficult to pursue my pottery interests. More than a decade later, I have circled back to my first dream job as a potter. Now I spend most days working in my studio while my loyal dog lazes happily nearby.

I love the outdoors & going on adventured into the wilderness. My previous career in experiential education allowed me to spend the better part of the last decade outside. The name moon dog comes from a rare celestial occurrence when the moon appears to have a halo encircling it or often looking like two dimples of light on either side, called a moon dog. I have been lucky enough to see moon dogs on many of my trips into the wilderness. The name was chosen to remember those long nights spent gathered around a fire, or a camping stove, enjoying some of life’s simple pleasures. I also happen to love dogs, so that doesn’t hurt.

I love the way pottery can become a part of our daily lives. It is our favorite mug, the dish we share a meal with, the planter our flowers grow in. Clay is a medium of seemingly endless possibilities. I find it inspiring to know I can continue challenging myself by trying new forms or new techniques. My current challenge: making my own glazes.

The Minnesota artist has had his work featured in the mall previously, but will now open his first retail space.

Minnesota-based artist Adam Turman is opening his first retail store, a holiday-timed pop-up at the Mall of America.

Turman’s 2,000-square-foot store opened on November 1st and stick around the Bloomington shopping hub until December 30th. It’ll be packed with Turman’s recognizable Midwestern-themed art that has been featured inside the Mall as well as places like the Minnesota State Fair’s Commemorative Art Program.

“Opening my first ever retail store at Mall of America is a dream come true,” Turman said in a statement. “Throughout the past decade, this iconic venue has held a special place in my journey as an artist through various projects including a mural, screen prints, and more. I can’t wait to share more of my art with a wider audience and connect with both my amazing fans and visitors from around the world.”
