A 6,400 square foot studio in a renovated building dedicated to arts and crafts
Open studios on Sunday, and the ability to drop in on other classes at no charge
Communal pottery tools, as well as shelf space, glazes, and firing services
Community, Resident, and Studio Artist programs offering advanced students 24-hour access and much more
The District Clay Gallery, showcasing the ceramic work of outstanding and upcoming artists in the region
Community Clay!, our outreach program that brings free clay and ceramics classes to the youth of DC, with a focus on Wards 7 and 8
