Bradley Keys
Keys studied at the Alberta College of Art + Design, and the Nova Scotia Art and Design. Keys also graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, which continues to inform his ceramic production even today. He constantly experiments with different construction techniques, textures, glazes, and finishes in order to capture the essence of something that inspires awe, such as “the colours of a stormy prairie sky at dusk, the textures of grass blowing in the wind, or the pattern of light cutting through a crystal clear mountain to the rocks below.” It is through these elements that Keys creates work that quietly reveals itself over time.
Key’s work has been recognized on the local, provincial, and international level, and has been featured in many publications. He taught and worked as the ceramic technician at the Alberta College of Art + Design, and now works full time in his studio in Calgary.
