Red Wing Collectors Convention

Annual Red Wing Collectors Society Convention

Wednesday July 7 through Saturday July 10, 2010 will see

the Red Wing Collectors Society annual convention in Red

Wing, Minnesota. One of the longest established and largest

collectors organizations in America, the Red Wing Collectors

Society has thousands of members and many active chapters.

Since the closure of Red Wing Potteries in 1967 the popularity

of the ware has grown dramatically, collections have been

formed and a substantial amount of research conducted.

The convention is an opportunity to view other collector’s finds,

attend educational seminars presented by knowledgeable

experts, socialize and have a good time. No doubt there will

be plenty of opportunity to discuss collecting trends and Red

Wing Pottery values.

The keynote speaker will be Jerry Mewhorter former plant

superintendent at the Red Wing Pottery company factory

until its closing in 1967. Seminar presenters will include

Larry Birks who will discuss “Stoneware Fakes” and Diane

Roup who will discuss the topics of “Fermenting Dill Pickles

and Sauerkraut” and “Current Safe Canning Procedures”.

There will also be a session about “Rosemeade Pottery”,

“Dinnerware Paper Products & Advertising” and “Red Wing

Trivia” as well as other sessions.
