This series of conversations offer an opportunity to consider any aspect of pots (form\, surface\, materials\, techniques\, aesthetics\, intention\, etc.) and to share ideas\, and answer questions. It’s often the case that we get so involved in our process of making\, that we don’t step back\, and ask\, “Why?” Or\, “What do I want to say?” These conversations can help us look at the bigger picture\, learn how to really see the pots we are making\, or simply clarify some technical questions we have had.”  –  Sarah Jaeger on the Speaking of Pots series URL:https://archiebray.org/event/speaking-of-pots-with-sarah-jaeger-5/ CATEGORIES:Education,Engagement Program ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://archiebray.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/image.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20240527T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20240527T235959 DTSTAMP:20260620T021839 CREATED:20231205T231046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231205T231103Z UID:10000549-1716768000-1716854399@archiebray.org SUMMARY:Bray Offices\, Galleries and Clay Business closed for Memorial Day  DESCRIPTION: URL:https://archiebray.org/event/bray-offices-galleries-and-clay-business-closed-for-memorial-day/ CATEGORIES:Hours and Holidays END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
