About Scope Gallery

Founded in 1974, Scope Gallery is one of the original medium-specific cornerstone galleries at the Torpedo Factory Art Center on the waterfront of historic Old Town Alexandria. The gallery specializes in high-quality ceramic art, featuring functional pottery, sculptural pieces, and decorative vessels created by more than 30 local artists from the Washington area representing diverse international traditions.

​

Scope showcases a wide range of ceramic techniques—including crystalline glazing, salt, raku, wood-firing, pit firing, and horsehair pottery—while inviting nationally recognized experts to jury exhibitions. With rotating monthly themes and regularly introduced artists, the gallery continually presents fresh work and fosters engagement between visitors and ceramic artists, deepening appreciation for the clay medium.
