​​Each month we will be highlighting an individual Artist & Member of SBS OPEN STUDIOS and give you a sneak peek into the Clay Studio.
I feel very fortunate to be able to share my studio with these wonderful, creative folks! We all share something in common, our passion for clay, a sense of community and our zest for learning and expressing our creativity! Every evening before I close the door to the studio, I take a moment to admire all the wonderful creations that happened that day and then I have to give myself a little pinch as a reminder of how grateful I am to have this creative community right under my own roof!

~Meet Brian~

Brian
Clay Open Studio Artist
​
"My name is Brian, I’m 60, I have been an artist most of my life, but I have always had a non-artistic
day job. For me working with clay is the best way to pull images from my imagination and make them exist.
I am mostly making sculptures and
have ancient history with clay but only recently returned to the medium after many years away.
Having weekly scheduled time in
Stephanie’s studio has allowed me to focus on doing work without
impediment. The studio provides all that I need, materials, light, tools, space to work, and a friendly welcoming environment.
Stephanie is often around the studio, and I have benefited from her experience. I also enjoy
meeting other artists working in the studio, it is informative to see and discuss what others are
working on, yet it does not feel too chatty, nor do I feel compelled to engage if I don’t feel like it,
however at times I have engaged in some lively discussions about process and technique, that reminded me of my old art school days.
I am grateful for the workspace Stephanie has created. To me the benefit has been profound."
