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 this spring, these workshops will be taught by Bradford Davis and Jill Allen and will offer a space for veterans to explore the value of clay as a form of healing and discovery.
Interested in taking one of the following workshops?
Are you intersted in joining our newly forming Veteran Clay Arts Network(VCAN)? This community is being formed as a way for veterans who are invested or actively participating in ceramics to connect with one another.
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.
