The District Clay Center

Picture
The District Clay Center is the largest and most complete ceramics arts center in the District of Columbia and the surrounding metropolitan area.

More than just a studio, a school, or a shared workspace, our facility caters to a diverse community of artists at all skill levels. We have physical spaces for all of the different programs and for every type of ceramic artist.

We not only offer the largest facility, we have a comprehensive set of tools to match. You will have access to every kind of rib, bat and trim tool imaginable as well as electric, gas and raku kilns.
