In a century of providing ceramics instruction, Greenwich House Pottery (GHP), located on a picturesque street in New York City’s historic Greenwich Village neighborhood, evolved from a modest program aimed at acculturating poor immigrants and providing training in a marketable skill to a nationally recognized workplace and showcase for contemporary ceramics. Begun in 1909 as a program of
a settlement house founded in 1902, the pottery, under its first director, Maude Robinson (from 1911 to 1941), an artist with a Newcomb College background, attracted patronage
as well as students from the city’s social elite, and accepted commissions and sold works ...

Jeanne Quinn: “Everything Is Not As It Seems”
Anyone in search of art in Greenwich Village could do worse than come in out of the cold at the Greenwich House Pottery’s cozy Jane Hartsook Gallery, where the ceramic artist Jeanne Quinn has grabbed the concept of the chandelier and run with it, filling the intimate space ceiling to floor with a surreal white chandelier—actually a grouping of eight chandeliers—created out of porcelain, wire and electrical hardware. There are ...

Our flagship show in Baltimore is now in full swing! We’re all holding our breath, but so far we’ve been spared by the snowstorm, except for a smattering of flurries this morning. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather through the weekend!
Now that I’ve had a chance to take in more of it, I’ve been struck by the wonderful balance between the old and the new at our Baltimore Show. As you wander your way through the aisles, you can find 30-year show veterans like David Bacharach and Seymour Mondshein next to up-and-coming crafters exhibiting their wares in Baltimore for ...
Heck Yes Craft
Is it spring fever? I can't stop looking at Kari Radasch's luscious new glaze-fired terra cotta work, with its bright - but not too bold - colors, clean designs, and cheerful iron-transfer decals. I smiled to read in her artist's statement that, along with many other sources of inspiration (design objects, textiles, mosaics, to name a few), she says her pots and surface are "rooted in the garden" - it makes beautiful, organic sense.
Can't get enough craft? Neither can we. Heck Yes Craft is a series of visual blog posts with a simple mission: to show off amazing work. ...

From the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa to Howard Street in Manhattan’s SoHo come the imaginative, vibrant and adventurous works created by the extraordinary talents at the Ardmore ceramic studio. I caught up with the latest from Ardmore right at the close of Amaridian’s recent exhibition and was both charmed by the works on display and disappointed to have missed many others that had already been purchased. Fraser Conlon, the owner of Amaridian, was pleased to say that the show “did incredibly well and many of the top pieces have been sold.” Conlon acknowledged ...
Letter from the Editor
For craft aficionados, it is a great joy to walk into the Museum of Modern Art’s “Bauhaus 1919-1933” show and immediately see a display case of ceramic works. Among the introductory pieces was a pot by Marguerite Friedlaender (later Wildenhain) decorated with a bull in slip trailing. This design relates to other linear decoration in painting and drawings also on view. In fact, the pottery, furniture, weavings in various forms from rugs to upholstery to wall hangings, plus metalwork by many individuals but especially Marianne Brandt and stained glass by Josef Albers, all fitted seamlessly with the paintings by ...
