Located in historic Glen Echo Park, Glen Echo Pottery has facilities for creating high-fire functional, decorative, and sculptural ceramics.  Our studio complex is housed in several round yurt-style buildings and includes

• A large wheel studio with 20 Shimpo Whisper electric wheels and 5 kick wheels for those who prefer the exercise  
• Two hand-building studios with work spaces and tools and equipment for coil,  slab building, and sculpting techniques
• A newly renovated glaze making lab where all glazes and slips for reduction and atmospheric firings are made.
• Glazing studio with a more than a dozen studio glazes suitable for high-fire reduction and soda firing 
• Two high-fire reduction gas kilns, 1 atmospheric kiln for soda firing, and 3 electric kilns for bisque firing only.   We specialize in high-fire reduction and soda firing (to approximately 2350° Fahrenheit).  We do not do Cone 6 electric firing, raku or other low-fire techniques. 
•   Sales gallery that shares space on weekends with the larger of the two hand-building yurts.  This space also includes a wheel-throwing demonstration area for our public visitors. See our Gallery page for more photos and details. 
•  Other facilities for office space, clay-mixing and storage.
