Opening Reception: Friday, May 1, 6-8pm Exhibition on view May 1 - May 31, 2026 Glen Echo Park Popcorn Gallery
The Popcorn Gallery presents Collaborations in Clay 2026, highlighting functional and non-functional artistic ceramic pieces by Glen Echo Pottery instructors and advanced students. The show focuses on the collaboration and interplay between the potters, the clay, the glaze, and the kiln. One of Glen Echo Pottery’s much-anticipated annual exhibitions, this year's show features work made and fired as part of the ceramics program at Glen Echo Park. Many of the contributing artists will engage with Popcorn Gallery visitors, acting as docents for the pottery program and stewards of Glen Echo Park.
