What We Do
Through our Community Clay! Program, District Clay provides teachers, clay, tools and glazes to kids in the DC region that otherwise have no access to clay.
Classes can happen at the District Clay Center or we can travel to area schools and other locations. Our current program takes us to THEARC facility in SE DC where we teach kids on Friday afternoons. Once kids make the work, we transport it back to District Clay Center for firing in our kilns.
Classes are free and are funded by your donations and financial support by the District Clay Center.
In the past, we have done teacher training with DCPS teachers. We want to ensure that area art teachers have a firm grounding in ceramic techniques, equipment and kiln firing. We hope to do more of this in the future.
If you have questions about our Community Clay! Program or are interested in Community Clay! coming to your school or organization, please contact Chris Targoni at chris (at) districtclaycenter.com
