SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Janisse Gracia
DESCRIPTION:Janisse Gracia\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\nIn-Person Artist Talk\, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.\nJanisse Gracia will give an in-person talk about the project she is working on on during her residency at Greenwich House Pottery. \nGracia is a Los Angeles-based artist who explores the emotional power we invest in our daily routines. By recreating the items central to those tasks\, Gracia meditates on the way these objects become vessels for memory\, comfort\, and transformation. Through repetitive making processes—rolling coils\, pinching patterns\, paddling forms—she pays homage to the repeated daily processes that invest these objects with their emotional power. \nGracia earned her MFA and BA from California State University\, Northridge. Recent exhibitions include Pio Pico (Los Angeles\, CA; 2025)\, Plains Art Museum (Fargo\, ND; 2023)\, and Applied Contemporary (Oakland\, CA; 2020). She currently serves as Executive Director of Green & Bisque Clayhouse in Pasadena. \n\nDuring her residency\, Gracia is exploring how uprooting herself to temporarily live in New York City has changed her understanding of the way care\, ritual\, and adaptation can be embedded into objects. She will probe how unfamiliar surroundings impact her relationship with the items of her daily routines\, and create a new body of handbuilt sculptures. Gracia will incorporate fabric into her finished ceramic work to create a dialog between softness and structure\, mirroring the dichotomy wrapped up in this new experience. \n\nThe talk is free and open to the public with RSVP.

SUMMARY:Pitchers of American Life: Art Within Reach\, a book talk with Ezra Shales
DESCRIPTION:Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to welcome Ezra Shales to the Greenwich House Theater to present his new book Pitchers of American Life: Art Within Reach. \nPitchers of American Life: Art Within Reach explores the tactile pleasures of drinking vessels and traces the role of these objects as representative art and collective tools—episodes of American history that resonate today in our everyday lives and yearnings for sociability and communion. Discussion ranges from vessels within ancient cultures and religious and family rituals to the growth of mass production and contemporary consumer culture. Shales blends the social histories of art/artifacts with memories of working on a museum installation crew\, educating students and himself\, and finding a treasure in a yard sale; in each chapter he interprets a single object as a revealing time capsule. Might learning to love a chipped old jug be a better way to cope with aging than other prescriptions? This history of art in a cupboard can liberate us from the usual hierarchies of civilization and the expense of the Grand Tour to build compassion with our immense amount of old stuff. \n \nEzra Shales is Professor in the History of Art department at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the author of The Shape of Craft (2017) and Made in Newark: Cultivating Industrial Arts and Civic Identity in the Progressive Era (2010). He has contributed to exhibition catalogs for artists Polly Apfelbaum\, Neil Brownsword\, Beth Cavener\, Kim Dickey\, and Shari Mendelson. He cut his teeth in New York City’s flea-markets and working as an art handler and then an educator at the Brooklyn Museum\, which turned him into a chinamaniac\, aesthetic gadfly\, and lifelong scribbler. His newest book Pitchers of American Life: Art Within Reach condenses forty years of learning and ten dedicated to teaching ceramic history at Alfred\, the New York State College of Ceramics\, with the existential tailspins of being a devotee to material culture in an era of hyper affluence. His vision of design/craft/art intersecting is a deliberately provocative strategy to move beyond inherited limitations. \nA book can be purchased in advance from Bloomsbury. \nThis event is free and open to all. Please register in advance to reserve a seat. \nThis event is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature\, and\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. \nAdditional support is generously provided by the Windgate Foundation\, and The Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation.

SUMMARY:Curator-Led Tour: Derek Weisberg\, A Form of Reverence
DESCRIPTION:Ruth Duckworth\, “Untitled”\, porcelain\, 4″ x 5 ¾ ” x 3 1/8 “\, 2002. \nCurator-Led Tour: Derek Weisberg\nSaturday\, June 13\, 2026\nIn-Person Curator-Led Tour\, 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.\nJoin us on June 13 for a curator-led tour of the current Jane Hartsook Gallery exhibition\, A Form of Reverence\, by the exhibition’s curator\, Derek Weisberg. \nThe nine artists featured in this exhibition use the alchemic nature of clay to embody “reverence” in physical form. With modern pressures to prioritize information over wisdom and convenience above all else\, many of us seldom consider the magnitude of existence or our role within it. We have lost our sense of awe at being part of an immense\, inextricably connected universe that teems with mystery. The work in this exhibition gives form to the reverence we forget to seek\, but can always find\, in the grace\, the beauty\, the vastness of creation. \nHear more about the individual artworks and the curatorial vision behind A Form of Reverence by joining this curator-led walk through of the exhibition. \nThe talk is free and open to the public with RSVP.
