Flowers were on the minds — and crowning the hair — of many of the guests at the 25th anniversary party for the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis.

There were floral-infused refreshments, a silent auction of floral-inspired wares, a botanical-themed costume contest and a chance to craft floral arrangements in honor of “Florilegium,” an exhibit of contemporary ceramics.

Northern Clay founder Peter Leach shared highlights of the past 25 years — and his hopes for what can blossom in the next quarter-century.
