Brett Binford and Chris Lyon Mudshark Studios: "Navigating Uncharted Waters" Hand-Eye Supply 23 NW 4th Ave Portland, OR 97209 Tuesday, July 23rd, 6pm PST
Mudshark is a private label ceramic manufacturing company that was founded in 2006 by Brett Binford and Chris Lyon and started in the basement of a rental house. In two short years the company grew to need more space but lacked the financial liquidity to afford both studio and house rent, so they purchased a home with 5,000 sq feet of garages in NE Portland. After operating out of the three garages for three years, they found themselves yet again over capacity and looked to expand to a more industrial setting. In the winter of 2011, Mudshark began moving its operation from the garages to a 17000 sq. foot warehouse. in the following year Mudshark grew from eight employees to 24. Brett and Chris currently operate at Mudshark's Production studio, co-own and operate the Portland Growler Company, maintain a private studio rental facility for eight ceramic professionals, and have opened an all ceramic gallery called Eutectic Gallery. They will be touching on both the business and the artist side of growth as well as showing many client examples and process images.
