OUR STORY & PHILOSOPHY

Bruce Barry writes on clay. Through a combination of wheel throwing and hand forming, Barry creates ceramic vessels that become the surface for his transcription of free-flowing thought.  Titled Journal Entries, Barry records his thoughts, observations and events on the vessel surface in small, tightly knit script.  From top to bottom the script flows, providing texture and decorative pattern to the otherwise smooth vessels.   A graduate of Bates College, Barry currently teaches at Museum School at The DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park.  His sculpture has been featured in exhibitions at the DeCordova, The Fuller Craft Museum and Milton Academy.  He has also been featured in Best of Pottery and Best of Pottery, Volume 2 (Rockport Publishers).
