Nathan Bray here again to share some images from my studio the past few months. I don't take many photos of my work in progress, but I do take pictures of my cats. Here are images of helpful cats, me ready to grind kiln shelves in the cold, pots ready to load in the kiln, mixing slip and glaze, photographing finished pots, a winter morning from outside the studio, and finally a photo of me throwing some bowls last week.
Looking forward to the spring season here and applying to Strictly Functional again. ✌️

Hello from Minnesota with another SFPN takeover! Nathan Bray here for a couple of days, sharing a little about myself and my work.
I went to college to be an electrician and worked doing construction for a few years. At that time I developed an autoimmune arthritis which put me in a wheelchair for about a year.
So, I began doing custom automotive painting and airbrushing, as I had wanted to for years prior.
It was 21 years ago I got hooked on clay, while going back to college for art and business. I was the workstudy studio tech my first semester in ceramics and that drive for more knowledge led me down this path. I recieved a BFA from Bemidji State University, MN in 2009 and was a resident artist at the Carbondale Clay Center, CO from 2010-2011. I have since been building my studio and homestead on the Iron Range of Minnesota. Thanks for following along ✌️
