Each spring the MSU Ceramics Guild and the Exit Gallery collaborate in the organization of “Bray Days”, an exhibition which brings a selection of ceramic work by resident artists of the Archie Bray Foundation to MSU. The exhibition will be on display from Feb. 20 through March 9.
Bray artists Nick Bivins and Lindsay Pichaske will visit MSU for a day of demonstrations and lectures on Feb. 22 in the MSU ceramics studio, Haynes 108. There will be demonstrations from 9-12 and 1-4 p.m., as well as a slide lectures during the afternoon session. That evening there will be a reception at 5 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.
The exhibition includes a variety of ceramic work from functional pottery to sculpture that often incorporates mixed media. Featured artist Nick Bivins makes highly functional pottery with a modern, minimal aesthetic.
Bivins says his work is “utilitarian pottery using a precise, clean and efficient geometric language.”
Lindsay Pichaske works as a ceramic sculptor, creating animal forms out of inanimate materials that rely on touch to take shape, like clay, string, and hair. Pichaske is propelled by a desire to create a believable sense of life.
The Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts is a public, nonprofit, educational institution in Helena, MT founded in 1951 by brick maker Archie Bray. Its primary mission is to provide an environment that stimulates creative work in ceramics and is internationally recognized as a gathering place for emerging and established ceramic artists.
“Bray Days” is sponsored by ASMSU Arts and Exhibits and the MSU Ceramics Guild. The Exit Gallery is located in Strand Union Building room 212, Montana State University in Bozeman. Hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. For more info please email asmsuexhibits@montana.edu

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
