Private Lessons at the Pottery
Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to welcome individuals and small groups for private 2-hour classes or parties for students of all levels. We generally hold private lessons or events on Friday evenings, Saturday, and Sunday mornings and afternoons, or Monday mornings. We ask for at least two weeks’ notice prior to your event in order to book rooms and faculty members accordingly.

Please note that we are not accepting any additional private lesson requests at our Jones St. location for April. If you’re interested in booking a lesson for May onward, write Megan at mmlee@greenwichhouse.org. For lessons at GHP Chelsea, please write hwesterman@greenwichhouse.org. |
| Private lesson students can expect to fire and keep at least one piece from their private lesson. Students will pick a glaze from our in-house selection during their lesson, which Pottery staff will apply after the first firing. Tools are provided, and student work will be ready for pick-up approximately 4-6 weeks after the scheduled lesson or event.
The prices below allow each participant to fire and keep 1 piece of pottery per lesson. Additional pieces are $10 each. those enrolled in 3 or more private lessons per term pay firing fees at a rate of $0.06 per cubic inch. Private lessons are generally two hours long, but longer lessons can be arranged. |
