The Glen Echo Pottery is a haven for individual creativity, and that ethic is reflected in the variety of expressions of clay you will see throughout the studio, and in the pages of this site.

Each of us at the pottery is uniquely inspired by our traditions, imaginations, dreams, relationships, and passions. The process is dynamic: while often frustrating, it can be thrillingly satisfying to create a work reflective of our own concept. And it is joyful to play with clay in the relaxed and friendly camaraderie of the studio among student artists from many different cultures, professions, and levels of experience.

The spirit of the pottery emanates from the respect for each individual's talents, needs, and expressions. As the resident artist, it is my goal to foster that spirit by teaching my students the skills which enable them to put shape to their unique visions. In this accepting atmosphere, we can appreciate the beauty of each other’s different expressions in clay. Just as our pottery brings us in touch with the basic elements, earth, fire, water, and air, it brings us in touch with ourselves.
