​Help us continue to improve Glen Echo Pottery.  As a non-profit organization we rely on tuition income and an active cadre of volunteers.  Improving our facilities and replacing old equipment requires more, successfully competing for grant support and then raising the required matching funds!   Click on I'd like to donate to see how you can help by contributing to our general fund or
