The District Clay Center

 Washington DC, while rich in many arts and crafts,  has lacked a single dedicated ceramic center, until now.  Unlike many cities of its size (such as our neighbors, Philadelphia and Baltimore) there has been no institution that provides the full spectrum of ceramic offerings.  In November 2016, the new District Clay Center more than tripled in size to include a ceramic gallery, cultural outreach and education, community and low-income classes, private studio space, regular Master Class workshops, guest resident artists and the largest array of ceramic equipment in the Washington area.  Sign up for our mailing list to hear about all our programs. Interested in our calendar of community events?
