Artist Reception| Friday, March 24, 2023 |5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition recognizing the talented artists who contribute to the Greenwich House Pottery (GHP) community. This exhibition showcases the artistic range of makers, each of whom uses the Pottery’s extensive resources to express their own creative voice in clay. From functional ceramics to sculpture, this exhibition is as diverse and as interesting as the artists themselves.
Greenwich House Pottery has been supporting artists and their projects since 1904. Since our first clay classes for neighborhood youth to our present-day educational program, lecture series, artist residency program, and exhibition series, we have been promoting the field of ceramics. We serve more than 400 artists and students per term who learn from professional faculty and staff proficient in a range of topics from wheel throwing, hand-building, and mold-making to glaze chemistry and slip casting. GHP also hosts workshops and lectures by leading ceramic artists from around the country and offers children the opportunity to work in clay through Greenwich House’s Youth Community Center. The artists in this exhibition represent the continuous achievement, exploration and passion for ceramic arts that GHP has fostered for over 118 years.

Hongmi Kim Hoog Artist Talk

Hongmi Kim Hoog
Wednesday, April 12, 2023
In-Person Artist Talk, 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Hongmi Kim Hoog will give an in-person talk about the project she is working on during her residency at Greenwich House Pottery.
Hongmi Kim Hoog is an artist who creates vessel forms by layering earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain to create unique visual patterns. For Kim Hoog, the juxtaposition of different clay bodies emphasizes the natural beauty of each material and is a metaphor for the benefits of diversity.
Kim Hoog is based in New Jersey. She earned her MFA in ceramics from The City College of New York, her MA in studio art from New York University, and her BFA in ceramics from Ewha University. Kim Hoog’s work has recently been shown at the Indianapolis Art Center (IN; 2022), the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts (TX; 2022), and the Cape Cod Museum of Art (MA; 2021).
During her residency, Kim Hoog will continue her layered-clay vessel series. Often referred to as agateware, nerikomi, or neriage—depending on the methods and the art historical tradition an artist is referencing—this technique is exceedingly difficult. She will hone her technical skills and experiment with new forms during her spring residency.

Keyanna Hutchinson is a versatile musician from Brooklyn whose multivalent influences can be traced to her Caribbean lineage, her love for popular music, her conservatory training, and a remarkably busy touring and recording schedule supporting performers in the fields of rock, jazz, R&B, and experimental composition.
Though perhaps best known for her fluency as a guitarist, Hutchinson is also a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer. She counts Terri Lynne Carrington, Lizz Wright, and Brandon Ross of Harriet Tubman as mentors and is a recent awardee of the prestigious Next Jazz Legacy fellowship through New Music USA.
Hutchinson composes and plays to pay homage and to propagate the roots of black and indigenous sound. For her Uncharted concert, “Plugged and Unplugged,” she will focus her many talents on a new project, intended to be eventually released as her debut album, that combines her love of live performance with recent explorations into electronic composition and remix culture.

Uncharted: Mafer Bandola Pipiris Nights - Mi vida y tiempos
2023-04-20 20:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Greenwich House Music School is pleased to present Mafer Bandola in its annual Uncharted Concert Series, part of the Baisley Powell Elebash Artists in Residence Program.
Doors open at 7:30 pm
Website / Instagram / YouTube / Soundcloud
Mafer Bandola takes the last name of her alias from her instrument of choice, the heavy-bottomed, four-string bandola llanera, played throughout the African and Latin diasporas but indigenous to Venezuela. In addition to being one of the most active and fluent bandola players in the world, Mafer is also a community organizer, self-taught composer, and educator. She brings a unique perspective and direction to the traditionally male-dominated performance of the bandola llanera, imbuing her playing with fresh energy over original joropos that draw from oral traditions and modern influences, peppered with spirited improvisations in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
Mafer is a co-founder and performer with the band LADAMA, a collective of four female musicians each from a different Latin and North American country. She currently hosts Pipiris Nights, the first recurring, community-focused series of Venezuelan joropo music and dance in New York.
For this Uncharted Pipiris Nights event, Mafer will transplant this rich cultural export from the Venezuelan llanos to downtown Manhattan for a special gathering and introspective storytelling session that explores her own and other contemporary narratives about Venezuelan immigrant life.

Yoko Yates Quintet

Youth: $17 (advanced)

Day of: $25 (cash) at the door
Yoko Yates, born in Sapporo City, Japan, is a composer, pianist, and an educator. She began her keyboard study at age four and was exposed to a variety of music by her music-loving family. Though classically trained, her keen interest in improvisation led her to take innovative approaches and to develop the style of composition she is known for today.
Yoko is an integrated musician with a unique voice as a composer. Her compositions reflect her multifaceted artistry; her experience with a variety of musical genres and the visual arts; her love of nature and storytelling. She has composed music for films, media, and literary events. Her music is heard on Reuter Business Weekly and in several international award-winning documentaries including “Mothers’ Way, Daughters’ Choice” directed by Kyoko Gasha, who describes her musical contributions as going beyond what words can express. She wrote pieces for “9.11, My Journey of Jasmine” by author, Akiko Endo, who says her compositions are born of a wonderful sensitivity that conveys emotion at a deep level.
She was awarded a Cultural Merit Scholarship from Sapporo City and a Professional Music Scholarship from Berklee College of Music in Boston. Graduating from Berklee with a B.A. in music, summa cum laude, she went on to receive a Master’s in Education from Lesley University in Cambridge (MA). She continued her doctoral study in music education at Columbia University, Teachers College (NY), where she was awarded a teaching assistantship and scholarship. She has been a member of the piano faculty at Greenwich House Music School in Manhattan and Brooklyn Conservatory of Music since 1996. At Brooklyn Conservatory she served as a piano chair from 2011 – 2013.
All through her schooling and teaching years, she has maintained a performing career, playing in both traditional concert settings as well as in clubs and special events in Boston, New York, and Japan. In April 2022, her first leader album “ Mystic Life” was released on SteepleChase Records. The album contains her 10 original compositions played in quintet by the notable musicians: Jamie Baum (Flt./A.Flt.), Sam Sadigursky (A. Sax./Cl./B.Cl.), Aryeh Kobrinsky (Bs.), Jeff Hirshfield (Ds.) and herself (Pf). “Mystic Life” was named one of UK Vibe.org’s “Best Jazz Album of 2022.”
“A highly skilled pianist comes to New York, starts meeting people as she builds her band and brand and the next thing you know, an ensemble is born that knows just how to deliver her original tunes. Smoking instrumental music that is jazz but goes beyond jazz in many ways. Often impressionistic and visual, this is a smoking debut from a pro that just planted a recording flag quite firmly.” – CHRIS SPECTOR, Editor and Publisher Midwest Record
“Yoko’s music is imaginative, fun, beautiful, and natural. It incorporates music from a variety of genres and has emotional depth that hits my heart. Her unique style appeals not only jazz enthusiasts but to a broader audience. Each time I listen to “Mystic Life” it reveals more and inspires my own creativity. It is wonderfully crafted. Thank you Yoko for creating such beauty for us.” – DAVE GAHAN, Lead singer Depeche Mode (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, 2020)
At this concert, you will hear some pieces from the “Mystic Life” album and her new compositions.
The performers are: Jamie Baum (Flt./A.Flt.), Jasper Shogo Dutz (A. Sax./Cl./B.Cl.), Aryeh Kobrinsky (Bs.), Jeff Hirshfield (Ds.) and Yoko Yates (Pf/Composition).
