Archie Bray
These photos are from a trip to the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana. The Archie Bray houses artists in residence, community classes, and a clay business that serves Helena and the state of Montana. Originally a brick factory, the brick making business was bought out by a Canadian company that wanted to mothball the entire operation. Ultimately, the brick making was suspended but not before a group of artists secured the grounds and facilities for what would become an internationally known center for ceramic arts.

This
selection of photos focuses mainly on a portion of the brick making
facility and some of the old beehive kilns. This was a photographic
dream, as there was almost no place I could point my camera that didn't
look good.
