Title: A ceramic continuum
Description: "For the fifty years of its existence, the Archie Bray Foundation has been a continuous, unique, and important center for the arts. Archie Bray envisioned his pottery as a place where young artists could use the brickyard's clays and kilns, hone their skills, learn from each other, and develop a sensibility about the Foundations signature production ware. In 1951, Peter Voulkos and Rudy Autio became the Bray's first two resident artists.

By the start of the 1960s, they had accomplished a revolution in the concept of ceramic art.".

"This fiftieth anniversary publication offers a history of the Archie Bray Foundation, an evaluation of its accomplishments, and a discussion of eighty-five works selected for an exhibition organized by the Holter Museum of Art from more than eight hundred in the Bray collection.

Through interviews with artists, resident directors, workshop presenters, and the late Peter Melay, and drawing on the resources of the Foundation's archives, Rick Newby and Chere Jiusto present its always lively, occasionally conflicted, and unfailingly interesting history through the voices and letters of those who knew it best."--BOOK JACKET.
