BRANT PALLEY
Brant Palley, a native of Albuquerque, began working for the Kings in 1985. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts from UC Irvine and a Master of Fine Arts from Otis Art Institute and Parsons School of Design, along with five years of intensive retail experience in Atlantic City, NJ, Brant was well-prepared to take the reins. The Kings, recognizing his expertise and passion, entrusted the business to Brant, who acquired it from them in 1987. As a potter at heart, Brant is particularly passionate about the clay side of the business, which remains a central focus of New Mexico Clay to this day.
