Campus and Facilities
The Baltimore Clayworks campus flanks the intersection of Smith Avenue and Greely Road in the northwest corner of Baltimore, MD in the historic neighborhood of Mt. Washington. It occupies two renovated historic buildings and a new studio wing, completed in 2005, and encompasses approximately 18,000 square feet of production and presentation space. The Clayworks Campus is right next to the Mt. Washington Light Rail station, making Clayworks easily accessible from BWI Airport, the Convention Center and Inner Harbor, Penn Station, northbound, and from Hunt Valley and Timonium southbound. Exit the Light Rail car and proceed straight ahead on foot. Baltimore Clayworks is also serviced by the #8 Metro busline.
