Classes and Studio

All courses at Greenwich House Pottery are hands-on, encouraging students to learn new skills or refining techniques as a means to conceive, construct and realize ideas and share them with others. Individual assistance is provided in each class, helping students develop at their own pace within a focused format or on individually determined projects.

In our studios at 16 Jones Street we offer 35 adult classes, children’s after-school classes, a parent and child class, year-round Master Workshops, a summer clay and mixed media camp for children called Project Arts, and an intensive Summer wheel-throwing class for teens. Day and evening classes are scheduled Monday through Saturday.

In the Fall, Winter and Spring terms open studio time for enrolled students is Tuesday - Thursday 1:30 - 6:15 pm; Friday 1:30 - 9:45 pm; Saturday 1:30 - 7:45 pm; and Sunday 10:00am - 3:45 pm.

For the summer term, open studio time for enrolled students is available Monday–Thursday 2:00–10:00 pm.

Our studios are equipped with 2 hand-building classrooms, 2 throwing classrooms, 28 wheels, 2 gas kilns, 4 electric kilns, two slab rollers, clay mixer, pug mill, two extruders, and a spray booth.
