*LIVE BROADCAST TODAY 1PM MST*
Feel free to post any questions in the comments on their instagram feed or share them during the broadcast.
As we are all adjusting to the conditions related to COVID-19 concerns, the Bray staff are looking for new ways to reach out to our community while we are closed to the public. We are eager to engage with you and to provide an opportunity to connect during this unprecedented time.
Watch for weekly broadcasts from the Bray on Instagram Live and Facebook Live from the Bray to share different aspects of our campus and programs and provide an opportunity for our supporters to offer feedback.
The first broadcast will take place this Monday, March 23 at 1 pm mountain time. Our Director, Steven Young Lee, will live broadcast from his studio, throwing porcelain cups and answering questions from you about what’s happening at the Bray or about his work. We hope to see you then! Stay well.

In light of the reality that many of our colleagues are scrambling to create online learning for their ceramics students, Studio Potter is offering a three-month free membership to ceramic departments or your school library. Our archive of over 8,000 pages of content will be accessable to professors and their students, and it is an excellent resource for remote ceramic education.
Any university or educational center affected by COVID-19 is eligible for the free three month membership. All students and faculty will access the journal under one log in for the three month period.
If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please have a faculty or staff member of your organization email Jess Detweiler at [email protected]. We will set up one account for each group. Include the following information in your email:
1. Your name
2. Your organization’s name
3. The email address you would like associated with the log in
4. Estimated number of students that will access the journal through this log in
Furthermore, we encourage you to give your students a writing assignment – Create an article for Studio Potter. You screen the submissions and send your top three to Jill Foote-Hutton at [email protected] for consideration. Selected student authors will be published on studiopotter.org and will receive a one year membership to Studio Potter.
Need some some suggestions for how to use Studio Potter as an educational resource? Look no further! Check out there blog update HERE.
