About Bray Clay
A Brief History of the Clay Business
Just a few years after the Archie Bray Foundation was established, Ken Ferguson (Director, 1958-1964) started a small clay business to help support the foundation financially. The Clay Business grew enormously when Chip Clawson came on in 1977 and worked to expand the scope and quality of the business. In the decades since, the Clay Business, known now as Bray Clay, has continued to be a valuable asset to the mission of the Archie Bray Foundation—All Bray Clay profits go toward The Bray's operations, and our staff provide ongoing technical and material support to the education and residency programs.
