Bradford Brackin’s Unearthly opens at Gallery 905

ArtsRevive in partnership with Selma Redevelopment Authority and sponsored by Hawthorne, Atchison, and Riddle Law Group, invites you to celebrate the opening of Unearthly, a new exhibition of work by Selma artist Bradford Brackin.

Brackin never set out to become a potter. What began with curiosity and a few lessons at the wheel turned into a lifelong creative passion. In hand-building clay, she found the freedom, texture, and rhythm that now define her work. Each piece carries a story—pressed lace from her wedding gown, leaves gathered on hikes, or patterns inspired by family heirlooms. The result is functional art that is as distinctive as it is meaningful: pottery meant to be used, loved, and lived with.

A Birmingham native who made Selma home, Brackin has steadily built a presence at shows across the Southeast while remaining deeply connected to the local creative community. At ArtsRevive’s Create Space, she found not only a studio, but also a second home.
