Hello all,
would like contact from those on the list who can tell me about clay
co-ops, guilds and studios in DC and Boston as well as the outlying
areas of those cities.
Heading that way real soon, could sure use some feedback.
We are seriously considering relocating and permanent work spaces will
be desired. I am interested in reduction to cone ten primarily.
Grab a cup of coffee and sit down, lemme hear from you.
Thanks all

Jan,
I used to live in Virginia and these are a few of the places I used either
for supplies, firing, workshops or just to connect with other potters.
Manassas Clay in Manassas, Virginia is a good studio and co-op situation
though they only fire electric. However, they might be a good place to ask
about other studios for firing reduction. Also you can buy supplies from
Fran Newquist who runs Tin Barn Pottery out of there. The number there is
703-330-1173. Ask for Fran. Another studio/supplier is Pine Ridge Pottery in
Alexandria, Virginia. Hood College in Frederick, Maryland is a good resource
for workshops and courses. Contact Joyce Michaud there (see advertisements
or listings in the ceramics magazines and it'll have phone number and
e-mail). The Baltimore Clayworks is another place to check out for
workshops. It's about an hour from DC so may be further than you want to
drive depending on where you are living. Anyway, good luck.

In DC, contact Eastern Market Pottery on capital hill, and Hinckley Pottery
in Adams Morgan. In Northern Virginia, contact George Brown at Pine Ridge
Pottery. I think he is on ClayArt.

Jan,
Here are all the places I can think of in the DC
area where you can fire in reduction:
Pine Ridge Pottery Alexandria, Va. (703)750-9437
Gas and electric. Part-time and full-time studio memberships
available. Studio membership includes work space, use
of glaze kitchen, wheels, slab roller, etc. and
discount on firings. Not juried.
The Torpedo Factory/Art League School-Alexandria Va. (703)683-2323
Associates program -juried - provides work environment
in exchange for membership fee plus work duties(kiln loading,
etc.). Gas and electric.
Lee Arts Center - Arlington, Va. - (703)228-5256
Gas and electric. You have to be juried in. I don't
know much about fees, etc. I think there's a waiting list.
Baltimore Clayworks Baltimore, Md.
Gas and electric. I think you have to be juried in.
(I visited once - don't know much about it, but it's
a nice place). It's also pretty far from the DC area
unless you live in Prince George's county.
Grey House Potters - Arlington, Va. (703)522-7738
I don't know much about it, but a friend of mine was
a member - she had studio space and fired there. I
don't know if they have a gas kiln. Not juried.
Glen Echo Nat'l Park Glen Echo, Md. -Ceramics dept.(301)229-5585
Pottery classes - ^10 reduction firing. I heard that they
have recently started renting out kiln space, but I doubt
they provide studio space (unless you sign up for classes).
Hinckley Pottery Washington D.C. - (202)745-7055
They offer classes, have a gas kiln. I don't know if you
can rent space or fire there if you're not a student.
Corcoran School of Art - Washington, D.C.
The kilns are really just for students, but if you take
a course there you can fire there. Not meant for
production, though.
Manassas Clay - Manassas, Va. 703-330-1173.
As described in Patricia's post - maybe Fran Newquist
can point you towards other places for gas firings.
Northern Va. Community Coll (NOVA) - Arlington(?) Campus
I *think* they have a gas kiln, but I think you have
to be a student to use it.
Also, the Art League offers a Wood Firing workshop with
John Thies once or twice a year.
There are lots of community centers with pottery labs, but
I don't know of any that offer reduction firings (or
studio space, for that matter).
You might also be able to find individual potters who would
share kiln space with you. There are a number of potters
groups here (The Clay Connection, the Washington Kiln Club)
where you can meet other area potters.
Well, I hope I haven't missed anything.
Good luck! Feel free to e-mail off-list if you have
any other questions.

Annandale, Va. Clay Conference.

Joyce Michaud can be found using a simple search "Hood
college fredrick" and of course there is a ceramics
department once you get to Hood's page..
And, last spring a friend of mine that works with/at
Baltimore Clay Works was saying they were either up an
running or getting up and running with a web page..
