Operation Mud

We are thrilled to announce that we developed a new program to serve veterans at The Clay Studio. Operation Mud comprises of clay workshops organized by Resident Artist & Veteran, Bradford Davis in collaboration with The Clay Studio. Started in the spring of 2025, these workshops, taught by Bradford Davis and veteran Jill Allen, offer a space where veterans help veterans find peace through making.

Resident Artist

Bradford Davis

Bradford Davis is an award-winning multimedia artist who uses ceramics as the base matrix to express his feelings, emotions, and responses to his traumas and life experiences. As a retired Army Artillery Officer, he mines his journey of healing to feed his creative research. He mixes fibers, metal, and stained glass with wheel thrown ceramics; to explore the personification of the amphora vessel in its destruction, restoration, and rebirth.
