Post from Pacific Fine Arts Festivals

Join us for our upcoming event, Tahoe City Art by the Lake, on August 19, 20 & 21, from 10am-5pm in Lake Tahoe, CA. Shop handcrafted works from small businesses, listen to local acoustic guitarist Robbie Gade and enjoy light bites and margarita tastings by Mirada. Jessica Luca Stevens of Mountain Water Canvas joins the event showcasing her ingenious re-working of sailcloth into big and small, useful bags as well as wall art. MOUNTAIN WATER CANVAS originated as a subcontracting sewing business on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. One summer of sewing in Tahoe (to support Luca’s other career as a professional ski patroller) soon became the primary focus of her work life. While learning to craft high quality boat canvas, the abundance of left-over marine canvas inspired many side projects, including the original prototypes for the current generation of reclaimed fabric bags. Luca is lucky enough to find a balance between work that she loves and outdoor endeavors including part-time Ski Patrolling, paddle boarding, trail running, and mountain biking in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. She can often be found adventuring up and down the West Coast in search of used sailcloth to create her fabulous sailcloth and marine canvas bags, custom boat covers and wall art. Discover the exceptional beauty of handcrafted items of art and décor for the home, office and gift giving at the Tahoe City Art by the Lake.
