Artist Malcolm Tibbetts is putting on a free art event at Lake Tahoe Community College on Nov. 3 at 5:30pm.

He will talk his artistic pursuits. Tibbetts is a South Lake Tahoe-based artist who primarily works with wood. He started fitting pieces of wood together as a child in his grandfather’s workshop, beginning a lifelong, serious hobby. After building many furniture pieces and acquiring a shop’s worth full of tools, Tibbetts began doing segmented woodturning. Before becoming a full-time turner, Tibbetts was represented by the Stones Gallery in downtown San Francisco. Currently he sells his artworks directly to the public.

He’s donated several large sculptures to LTCC that can be found around campus.

The talk will be in Room F101 in the Fine Arts building on LTCC’s campus. Space is limited, so arrive early.
