Note: This event will be held at the Kingfield Community Outdoor Oven located Kingfield’s Pleasant Community Garden on the grounds of the Center for Performing Arts.

Celebrate the turning back of the clocks! The oven will be hot (literally 800 degrees of hot!) and we will be baking pizza for neighbors to enjoy. Wander on down and help yourself to a slice! Bring your own lawn chair or picnic blanket (and maybe a blanket to snuggle up in too!) Please consider packing your own reusable plate, utensils, and bring your own beverage.  There will be compostable tableware for those who need it.

This is a No Cost event–free will donations will be accepted.

We are also providing, at no cost, a two partial-day training in working oven events on Nov. 5 & 6. If you want to volunteer and learn how to work the oven and manage events at this outdoor site contact to check the times and see if there is still space available to participate.

Questions? You can also call Sarah Linnes-Robinson, KFNA Executive Director, at 612.823.5980.

 

S’mores, apple cider, spooky stories for all ages…..and Fire Breathers!

Once again, the Kingfield Neighborhood Association will partner with MLK Park and co-host a free fun-filled night for all ages, with a new twist  a spectacular performance by fire-breathers!  We will be on the northern side of the building, just look for the fire pits – bring your chairs and come prepared to meet neighbors and be entertained!

Wheels will spin & clay will fly! Come join the fun!

There will be things to nibble and sip, and a chance to chat with the artists about their work while browsing the studio as they get ready for their annual holiday sale coming December 2-4. You can also paint a bowl for Kingfield’s February 2017 Empty Bowls event!

Experienced ceramic artists, come and sit for a spin (or two!)  Uptown Clay is providing the space, wheels, and coordination for this single-day throwdown. The goal is to make 120 bowls for the February Kingfield Empty Bowls event, a fundraiser held in February to benefit Nicollet Square, a supportive place for formerly homeless youth.

 

Ceramic artists: To reserve a wheel for a throwing shift on Saturday, October 15th, send a request to Jon Loer at and a copy to Benjamin Krikava at . Questions can be directed to Benjamin at 612.327.5274.
