We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to a recent grant from PECO Powering the Arts, we are beginning to develop a new program to serve veterans at The Clay Studio. Still in the beginning phases of planning, Operation Mud will be comprised of clay workshops organized by Resident Artist & Veteran, Bradford Davis in collaboration with The Clay Studio. Starting in the spring of 2025, these workshops- taught by Bradford Davis and veteran Jill Allen- will offer a space where veterans can help veterans find peace through making.
Interested in taking one of the following workshops?
Introducing a new community for veteran clay artists and enthusiasts at all different points in their ceramic journey. VCAN helps connect us, share knowledge, and highlight veteran ceramic artists in the community.
Bradford Davis is an award-winning multimedia artist who uses ceramics as the base matrix to express his feelings, emotions, and responses to his traumas and life experiences. As a retired Army Artillery Officer, he mines his journey of healing to feed his creative research. He mixes fibers, metal, and stained glass with wheel thrown ceramics; to explore the personification of the amphora vessel in its destruction, restoration, and rebirth.
