The American Hand on M St. (a few blocks from Wisconsin) features just
clay - the work represented is strong.

I will be travelling to Washington DC in August, besides all the museums
on the Mall does anyone have any other favorite galleries that they might
recommend? I'm mainly interested in Contemporary crafts. Thanks for any
help you can give me.

Patrice,
the Renwick is The museum for contemporary crafts, it is part of the Smithsonian
but not on the mall, it is at 17th & PA. across from the white house the corcoran
is around the corner from the renwick and down two blocks on 18th or 19th.
Appalachian Spring has galleries in Georgetown on wisc.Ave and union station and
Rockville, and of course the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, and there is a neat
contemporary glass gallery about two block away from that. When you get to D.C get
a current copy of the free Galleries Magazine, because there are a lot of little
galeries in Georgetown, alexandria, and arlington that are close enough together
to go from one to another on foot it you have time.
Millie in MD. waiting for the paper clay slabs that I poured to dry out enough to
handle.

Just across the river in Alexandria, VA is the Torpedo Factory Art Center -
http://www.torpedofactory.org/ - lots of pottery as well as other art and
crafts. If you enjoy functional wood-fired pieces don't miss John Thies
work...

Patrice,
First, you might want to check Issue 16 of American Style, which
had an article on Crafts Galleries in Washington D.C.(back issues
available from http://www.americanstyle.com)
In addition to American Hand and Appalacian Spring(both in
Georgetown) you might want to try these:
In Dupont Circle: Anton Gallery on R St.(off Connecticut) carries
the work of Rob Barnard and Julian Stair. They have also shown
Edmund DeWaal and Byron Temple in the past. Even if they're not
currently having a show they usually have some work in the back
office that they're happy to let you see. Troyer/Fitzpatrick on
Connecticut has some sculpture right now, and will be showing
Warren MacKenzie's work sometime in the fall.
Also in Dupont: Ginza, a Japanese import shop(on Connecticut, just
north of R St.) has LOTS of contemporary Japanese pottery. Teaism
is a neat cafe that sells American and Japanese-made pottery in
the Asian tradition.(Also a nice place for lunch).
Near the National Gallery(around 7th/8th St at E:) Zenith Gallery
on 7th St. between D and E carries contemporary
ceramics, furniture and paintings. A lot of fun stuff. A.Salon,
on the corner of 7th and F, is a co-op gallery that sometimes has
some sculpture. Also, Teaism has a branch on 8th just south
of F street - two stores, the cafe on the corner, and the gift shop
(pottery and tea) next door.
In Old Town Alexandria: The Torpedo Factory has 7 or 8 pottery
shops/studios carrying the work of probably about 50 potters.
Nearby (just up Union Street, beyond Ben and Jerry's) is Utica,
a gift shop with funky pottery, jewelry and other neat gifts. Next
to that is another gallery with pottery and paintings (I can't
remeber the name).
Also--the first Friday of every month is the Dupont Circle gallery
opening night(6-8pm) - most activity centers around R street and
Connecticut near R.
the third Thursday of every month is the 7th Street gallery
opening night - galleries in the 406 7th St. building, Zenith
gallery(across the street), A.Salon and the gallery next to it.
Finally, Thursday nights in the summer are late nights for the
National Gallery, the Phillips Collection(in Dupont Circle-Q and 21st)
and others. There are also other Thursday events planned - check
the Washington Post Weekend section(comes out on Fridays, or read
it online at http://www.washingtonpost.com )
The R Street and 7th Street galleries tend to be closed
on Sunday and Monday, and some also on Tuesday. The Smithsonian,
Renwick, and National Galleries only close on Christmas day.
The Corcoran is closed on Tuesdays. The Phillips is closed on
Mondays.
Also, don't miss the Renwick, Freer, Sackler and African Art
museums.
Have a great stay!

I will underline the importance of going to the Renwick Gallery. Of the
Smithsonians, this one is dedicated to American craftspeople. It is "off=
the Mall" and across the street from the White House. =
Also the Torpedo Factory is a worthwhile trip to Alexandria, VA (just ov=
er
the bridge from DC.).
My work is at Kensington Gallery in Old Town Kensington in Maryland, abou=
t
3 miles from DC.
If you need specific directions to any of these sites or a place to stay=
,
give me a call.
