Army veteran Bradford Davis created ‘Operation Mud’ to help veterans mold their shared experiences into ceramic works of art.<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — When veteran Bradford Davis was injured in the Army, the scars turned him away from his love of art.<\/p>\n

But he took the proverbial ‘mud’ from his boots and molded it into something amazing.<\/p>\n

He created ‘Operation Mud,’ <\/a>a free class in which veterans can learn the art of ceramics.<\/p>\n

It is housed within The Clay Studio<\/a> in North Philadelphia, where Davis is currently a resident artist.<\/p>\n
