Baltimore Clayworks Provincial House

Posted on Thursday, January 28th, 2010 at 10:44 am

It’s always exciting to find a new (and/or not very well-known) venue for a wedding reception. After all, what bride wants to have her wedding at the same place hundreds of other brides have enjoyed their wedding?

Introducing Baltimore Clayworks. Although it’s been around for years, not many brides know about it’s reception capabilities.

Located within in two historic buildings in Mt. Washington, Northwest Charm City, Baltimore Clayworks is the region’s only cultural institution dedicated solely to the ceramic artsis.

The Provincial House, the building best ideal for a reception, is dedicated to exhibitions of local, national, and international ceramic artists. Rotating exhibitions of functional and sculptural work are installed throughout the first floor of the 7,000 square foot facility. An 1880′s historic stone building, it houses 4 exhibition galleries, meeting space and administration. Guests can enjoy the the reception and at the same time get to see incredible ceramic arts.

While holding 70 comfortably seated throughout the exhibition galleries, it can hold a maximum of 160 for a stand-up reception (a reception type that is becoming more trendy even for weddings). A fully-equipped kitchen is also available for the use of any caterers and guests.

Prices start at $300 and go up to $650 depending on the day of week, time of day, and number of hours. The space is available to rent Monday through Saturday after 5 PM, and Sunday all day.
