About Greenwich House Pottery

Welcome to Greenwich House Pottery where we have been introducing New Yorkers to clay since 1909.  Over the years we have become an internationally recognized center for ceramics. Our diverse program of classes, exhibitions, residencies, community outreach and special events makes us an excellent resource for professional artists and newcomers alike. 

Over the last century, the Pottery has pioneered the field of ceramics in New York City, offering courses in hand building, wheel-throwing, photo-ceramics, ceramic jewelry, glaze chemistry, kiln classes and sculpture, as well as classes for children and seniors. Read more about our history and the formative years of Greenwich House. Our workshops and lecture series have brought ceramic artists such as Linda Arbuckle, Christa Assad, Rudy Autio, Sam Chung, Malcolm Davis, Chris Gustin, Tony Hepburn, Warren MacKenzie, Chris Staley, Akio Takamori, Jack Troy, and Peter Voulkos, to name a few.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery, where we maintain ongoing exhibition series,  and The Pottery’s Storefront Gallery reinforce our commitment to supporting both emerging and established ceramic artists, and to our educational mission of making, exhibiting, and learning from contemporary ceramics. Can't make it in to the storefront gallery? Now you can visit our online pottery store for the latest in contemporary ceramics.
