A New Approach
The Bray is embarking on a new approach to seminars and traditional workshops! We are committed to offering quality learning opportunities to support all student types and will be exploring new formats of condensed learning programs from prominent artists in the field and throughout Montana.
While immersive summer workshops as they were (prior to our 2020 closure) will not return, we look forward to providing alternative summer programs in conjunction with The Bray Incubator program, and workshop opportunities throughout the calendar year. We are currently on trajectory to introduce workshop and seminar opportunities year round in 2025. In the meantime, keep an eye out for an annual summer workshop each year (detailed below)!
Upcoming Seminars and Workshops
Building Baskets
Discover what long term Bray resident Eliza Weber has to share in this two week condensed, form-meets-decoration class! Using the basket as the form participants will focus on both slab and coil building techniques, then incorporate learned surface textures from stencils, stamps and sprigs to make two reasonably sized pieces start to finish. Students can expect to find inspiration in a variety of prompted ways with Eliza as their guide. An excellent class for adults (16+) of all backgrounds and abilities who are interested in expanding their knowledge in clay!
