Last year I learned about the Archie Bray Center in Helena, MT while attending a ceramics lecture sponsored by the Anchorage Clay Arts Guild with my friend and fellow artist Wendy. I had no idea at that time that I would be moving to Montana. While I'm not taking up a new Art medium, it was a great place to visit. Full of creative energy and quirky art all over the grounds. We toured the grounds, aided by the complementary brochure, also happened in on a teaching presentation and listened/watched a good part of it and learned a little of the process of creating ceramic sculptures, amazing!
We also wandered around Helena downtown and took in the sun and architecture, need to learn more of the local history that's for sure.
Even amazing art in the restroom!
A little of downtown Helena
If you are looking for fun this Friday (March 2, 2012), stop by the Guest room at IGCA, my friend Erin Osinkosky will have her show of prints and drawings on display, "Monster Heart Jesus". She is also giving a talk and demo with her puppets at the Anchorage Museum the same night. She's super creative and makes quirky puppets and drawings. Check it out!
