Author Profile
Tara Wilson

Tara Wilson was captivated by the woodfiring process during her undergraduate studies at the University of Tennessee. Armed with an MFA from the University of Florida, she ventured westward for a transformative residency at The Archie Bray Foundation. Montana’s rugged beauty stole Tara’s heart, and in 2008 she planted roots and set up her studio near Helena. She has shared her expertise through lectures and workshops throughout the United States, and her work has been exhibited internationally. She facilitated the Cultural Confluence Woodfire Symposium in 2018 and serves as a founding host of The Montana Clay Tour. When not in the studio, Tara can be found roaming the hills on her mountain bike.
