Archie Bray Foundation

workshops and classes
The Bray provides educational opportunities at all levels--for those with a casual curiosity to accomplished artists seeking creative renewal. Community classes in throwing and handbuilding are offered quarterly for beginning through advanced students. "Young Artist" classes involve kindergarten through high-shool-aged students. Workshops bring leading experts on various areas of ceramics to the Bray to teach and inspire. Ranging from one day to two weeks, the workshops draw participants from across North America.
