Clay Business

Chris Leipzig

October 15, 2025 by

Chris Leipzig is a Wisconsinite that came to Helena in 2020 with a background in disaster response and construction. He was introduced to clay work early in his life in Montana, and it took off from there. His passion for creating clay arts has been a creative outlet he’s never had before.

Cole Collier

September 27, 2022 by

Cole Collier received his BA in Art with an emphasis in Ceramics from the University of Southern Indiana. With a diverse background in technology, education and ceramics, he currently works in multiple capacities across The Bray. His love of all things clay began in the kitchen and in his work continues to explore the connections between utilitarian tableware and the rituals that surround the preparation and presentation of a shared meal.

David Peters

David has a BFA in ceramics from Utah State University and a MFA from Montana State University. He fell in love with Helena and the Bray back in 2007 when he was a resident artist. It was then that he began to specialize in using local materials to make his work. Today he is enjoying exploring woodworking during his studio time.
