Earlier this summer Sculpture Fest hosted a benefit show and sale of work by regional clay artists, Clay Artists in the Barn, for Barro sin Plomo. The event opened on July 5th. In addition to a variety of work by established artists the exhibit included the ceramics of a select group of students of Jenny Swanson, director of the Ceramics Student Workshop Program at Dartmouth College. Baker-Berry Library at Dartmouth College is presently exhibiting Barro Sin Plomo - Clay Without Lead, in the Berry Main Street display cases through the summer. The exhibit features information about the Barro Sin Plomo program and works by many of the Mexican artisans involved in the project. The exhibit is free and open to the public during library hours. |

Director Charlet Davenport has worked as an artist in Vermont since 1963. Currently her work in ceramic sculpture is influenced by many years of acting as Director of Sculpture Fest. Initially her ourdoor art installations were created on fibre glass mesh and installed in public spaces (St. Gaudens Historic National Park, The Rotunda at Dartmouth College Hopkins Center, the Vermont Carving Studio and Sculpture Center, the bank of the Hoosic River on Williams College Campus, Slater Mill, Pawtucket, RI, the TW Wood Art Center and a variety of other public and semi-public spaces.)
Both Davenports agree that land belongs to all of us and welcome the guests who come to Sculpture Fest each year. |
