Where Education and Research Collide
The Bray Incubator (a program purposefully lacking limitations and expected outcomes) was developed to prioritize and elevate the future of education in the ceramic arts. Inspired by Garth Clark’s foreword in “A Ceramic Continuum; Fifty Years of the Archie Bray Influence”, The Bray Incubator encapsulates The Bray’s expansive history of bringing creative individuals together in community while progressing toward positive change and inclusivity in the ceramic arts.
The Bray Incubator operates in the summer months (June, July, and August) and provides space and time for innovative educational programming including Artist Exchanges, Social Practice Collaborations, Educator Professional Development and more.
Public events and class opportunities will vary each summer. As public opportunities become available we will post them here, in our newsletter (sign up here), and via our social media accounts.
