Today I payed a visit to a Helena, Montana treasure - Archie Bray Foundation. Archie Bray Foundation is (to quotes their website) "...a public, nonprofit, educational institution founded in 1951 by brickmaker Archie Bray, who intended it to be "a place to make available for all who are seriously and sincerely interested in any of the branches of the ceramic arts, a fine place to work." Its primary mission is to provide an environment that stimulates creative work in ceramics." My friend Sarah showed me Archie Bray when I first arrived in Helena. We walked around and.. of course.. took goofy pictures.

It's an awesome place to get inspired creatively. Here's a little video I put together from my visit today.

If you're ever in Helena, stop by! There's an open studio where you can watch artists working. One thing I would recommend is going when it's warmer though.. it's a fun place to walk around and there is so much art outside to look at.. but when it's negative-freezing-cold out (like it was today) it's hard to stay outside for any length of time!
