Valhalla welcomes potter to Tallac Historic Site
By Lake Tahoe Action |
Tahoe.com
Visitors to the Tallac Historic Site will be able to enjoy Barbara Wesson's functional pottery at the Artist in Residence Gallery (next to the Cultural Arts Store.)
Her exhibit is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily from July 3-10 for the Valhalla Summer Arts and Music Festival. Visitors to the gallery can meet Wesson and ask questions about her work.
Wesson is a Lake Tahoe potter with a background in zoology and botany. She is an award-winning landscape designer of zoo exhibits integrating native plants of the Southwest. An avid collector of succulent specimens, it was difficult for her to find suitable pots.
“I came across a used pottery wheel for sale and remembered how I loved the feel of clay as a child, and realized that I could learn to create my own pots,” she said. “This is the point where a great adventure began, bringing me to a career as a full-time potter, bringing me full circle back to the plants that I love.”
Wesson has studied with master potters Randy Broadnax, Don Ellis and Bill Van Gilder at Sierra Nevada College. Her pottery is a mix of high fire and raku techniques that are functional for home and garden. Wesson mixes earth-tone colors and clay formations that bring her pottery to life. You can find Wesson's pottery at www.letsgetmuddy.net.
For more information, call the Tahoe Tallac Association, sponsor of the Valhalla Arts and Music Festival, at (530) 541-4975.
