Allure of the Clay - Vernon, British Columbia - Murals on Waymarking.com

Born in Sweden to a family of potters, Axel Ebring found a promising new deposit of good clay in the mid-1930’s in a stretch of land now known as Pottery Road. Ebring worked in the traditional manner and never abandoned his foot-powered potter’s wheel. Nor did he ever use a thermometer for his wood fired kiln.

All the murals are well done paying tribute to the artist's talent and creativity for any passersby to enjoy.

The murals are numbered and we will showcase

The Allure of Clay

3009 32nd Avenue

Featuring Vernon potter Axel Ebring, The Allure of Clay captures the story of a famous Vernon potter.

Artist: Michelle Loughery

The very first mural was created in the fall of 1998 and over the course of the next 15 years the lead artist, along with local youth, painted an additional 27 murals.

Downtown Vernon’s outdoor art gallery was made possible through funding from HRDC, investment by downtown businesses and local organizations, as well as the City of Vernon.

The Vernon Museum and Archives provided original content and photos.

The murals are visited by hundreds of people each year and continue to be a wonderful way to tell Vernon’s story.
