The Jane Hartsook Gallery at Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to present After ‘Women in the News’: Kari Marboe, Friends, and Colleagues, an exhibition celebrating the life and artistic legacy of ceramicist Kari Marboe (1984-2022).

Kari Marboe was a celebrated artist and educator known for her innovative approach to ceramics and her commitment to exploring historical narratives, personal archives, and material storytelling. This exhibition brings together 11 artists—friends, collaborators, and colleagues—whose work reflects Marboe’s influence and artistic values.

Inspired by Marboe’s sculpture Women in the News–Viola Frey, from the 2022 exhibition After Viola at Yolo Arts, this show embraces the spirit of collaboration and community that exemplified Marboe’s approach to artmaking. Featuring works in a variety of materials—from fiber to clay to video—the artists explore themes of identity, memory, and materiality, echoing Marboe’s deep curiosity and expansive creative practice.

Kari Marboe was a fellowship artist at Greenwich House Pottery in 2019 and passed away in 2022. This exhibition was made possible with the support of Sunny A. Smith, Dean of Fine Arts, California College of the Arts and the Kari Marboe Estate.
Presented in partnership with HB381. Exhibition on view at 381 Broadway, New York, NY.

Premiere: Clay in Context at the Whitney Museum
2025-06-05 16:00 - 18:00 | New York
Greenwich House Pottery is proud to partner with the Whitney Museum of American Art for the premiere of Clay in Context, a screening of four short films by Kate Parvenski and Paraphrase Studio that spotlight the 2024 GHP Artists in Residence: Daniel Barragán, Carson Culp, Kristy Moreno, and Gina Tibbott.
Through vivid cinematography and thoughtful storytelling, Clay in Context offers an intimate look into the studio practices of these four artists and the impact of their residencies at Greenwich House Pottery. From investigations of identity, place, and border politics to reinterpretations of ancient ceramic forms, the films reflect the depth and diversity of artistic expression nurtured through GHP’s Artist Residency Program.
Following the 40-minute screening, guests are invited to stay for a live Q&A with NYC-based artists Kristy Moreno and Gina Tibbott. A reception will follow in Greenwich House Pottery’s Jane Hartsook Gallery at 16 Jones Street.
This event is presented in conjunction with Ceramics Now, an exhibition on view at the Jane Hartsook Gallery at Greenwich House Pottery from May 8 through June 13, 2025. The exhibition features the work developed by Barragán, Culp, Moreno, and Tibbott during their residencies.
About the Artists

Daniel Barragán (NYC) uses painting and sculpture to explore issues of identity, ownership, and resistance. At GHP, he turned to the visual language of the U.S./Mexico border and the American Southwest, fusing traditional southwestern pottery with punk and metal motifs.

Carson Culp (Portland, OR) brings a reverence for handcraft to his functional pottery. A former apprentice at Leach Pottery, Culp used his residency to mentor others and further refine his own voice as a maker.

Kristy Moreno (CA) blends folklore, 1990s cartoons, and SoCal subcultures to imagine decolonized futures. During her residency, she experimented with glaze techniques that deepened the impact of her vibrant figurative sculptures.

Gina Tibbott (NYC) draws on her background as a field archaeologist to reimagine ancient forms. During her residency, she used Gisela Richter’s 1923 manual The Craft of Athenian Pottery—written with technical insights from GHP’s first director, Maude Robinson—as a springboard to create her work.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating this vibrant and timely reflection on contemporary ceramic art.
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
This program is supported by the Lenore G. Tawney Foundation, public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, the Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation, the Robert and Beatrice Hompe Foundation and the Windgate Charitable Foundation.

Artist Talk: Melissa Joseph
2025-05-21 16:00 - 17:00 | Greenwich House Pottery, 16 Jones Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Melissa Joseph
Wednesday, May 21, 2025
In-Person Artist Talk, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Melissa Joseph will give an in-person talk about the project she is working on on during her residency at Greenwich House Pottery.

Joseph is a New York City-based interdisciplinary artist whose art practice in craft-based media—especially ceramics and textiles—addresses themes of diaspora, family history, and the politics of how we occupy spaces. Joseph is particularly interested in connecting people through collective memory and shared experiences.
Joseph earned an MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, an MAT from Rhode Island School of Design and a BA from New York University. Her work has been shown at Margot Samel (New York, NY; 2023), Independent Art Fair (New York, NY; 2023), and NADA Miami (Florida; 2021), among others. Joseph has participated in residencies including at Artpace San Antonio (San Antonio, TX; 2024), the Archie Bray Foundation (Helena, MT; 2022) and The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (New York, NY; 2021).
During her residency, Joseph will create ceramic inlay paintings that are an interpretation of the visual languages she uses in felt and paper. She will particularly focus on the technical side of constructing work from varied clay bodies and work to expand the size of these clay paintings. In addition to translating her visual language into clay, Joseph will also create felt/ceramic hybrid works.

The talk is free and open to the public with RSVP.

Uncharted: Jaime Lozano
2025-05-15 20:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Greenwich House Music School is pleased to present Jaime Lozano in its annual Uncharted Concert Series, part of the Baisley Powell Elebash Artists in Residence Program.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Website / Facebook / Instagram
As a shy child growing up in Monterrey, Mexico, Jaime Lozano discovered his voice through music. His passion for music led him to New York City, where he not only learned English but also experienced true diversity. It was on Broadway that he found a creative family—fellow Latinos who collaborated and supported one another through their shared experiences. From this community, Jaime Lozano and the Familia was born, a project inspired by the talented artists around him who lacked opportunities to share stories about the immigrant experience. Determined to change that, Jaime began writing those stories himself. The result is Songs by an Immigrant, a project that captures the realities of Latino expats while exploring universal themes of alienation, dreams, and the struggle to build a life far from home.
Uncharted, now in its eleventh year, has been an invaluable resource for New York-based musicians to develop original material, foster new collaborations, and premiere first-look projects in an intimate concert setting.

Uncharted: Excelsis Percussion
2025-05-08 20:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Greenwich House Music School is pleased to present Excelsis Percussion in its annual Uncharted Concert Series, part of the Baisley Powell Elebash Artists in Residence Program.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Website / Facebook / Instagram
Excelsis Percussion—comprising Mariana Ramirez, Britton René-Collins, Aya Kaminaguchi, and Marcelina Suchocka—is a quartet of classically trained percussionists hailing from diverse backgrounds. They come from different parts of the world, speak various languages (English, Spanish, Japanese, Polish), and work across a wide range of spaces, from orchestral settings to experimental theater. Despite their differences, they come together to create a unified voice, collaborating to understand how their individual expressions can fit into a collective whole. Even when words fall short, they communicate through gesture, rhythm, and musical ideas, with rhythm itself serving as their universal language.
For Uncharted, Excelsis Percussion will present their environmental justice project, Rooted in Rhythm, an immersive 360-degree concert experience that places the performers directly within the audience. For this performance, they will experiment with electronics and found objects, to merge works by contemporary composers with the sounds of nature—chirping birds, croaking frogs, and dripping rain. Each performance is shaped by its unique setting, ensuring that no two experiences are alike. Attendees can expect to be enveloped in the act, drawn into a dynamic dialogue between sound, space, and environment.

Opening Reception | Thursday, May 8, 2025 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Exhibition on view May 8 – June 13, 2025
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present work by our 2024 artists in residence: Daniel Barragán, Carson Culp, Kristy Moreno, and Gina Tibbott. Greenwich House Pottery’s Artist Residency Program fosters artistic growth by providing makers time, space, materials, and a creative community to explore and generate new bodies of work in ceramics in vibrant New York City.
Daniel Barragán is an El Paso, Texas-born, New York City-based artist who works mostly in painting and sculpture. Through his artwork, Barragán seeks to disrupt the new American landscape, explore the shape of time, and ask questions about cultural representation, ownership, assimilation, and sexual identity, with a focus on the American Southwest. During his residency, Barragán developed a project that uses southwestern pottery and imagery drawn from punk, rock, and metal music to turn a critical eye towards the U.S./Mexico border.
Carson Culp is a potter whose work is defined by his deep respect for the handmade and intentional making. Culp learned this approach through working for numerous studios and artists in Portland, OR and honed it during his one-year apprenticeship at the renowned Leach Pottery. He continues to further his creative expression through numerous artist residencies. Teaching and mentorship are integral to his practice, and Culp spent his residency passing on his philosophy of making and growing his voice as a potter.
Kristy Moreno is a California-based artist who uses aesthetics influenced by Southern California counter cultures, cartoons from the 1990s, and folklore to create figurative work that imagines fictional communities in a decolonized future who are free from patriarchal structures. During her residency, Moreno experimented with a range of matte and gloss mid- and low-fire glazes to better compliment her recent work, and took time for creative exploration.
Gina Tibbott is a New York City-based artist whose ceramics practice is informed by her years working as a field archeologist. During her residency, Tibbott used Gisela Richter’s The Craft of Athenian Pottery published in 1923 as a jumping off point to create new work based on ancient forms. The manual was written with technical insight provided by Maude Robinson (Pottery Director, 1911 – 1941). Thus, Tibbott collaborated not only with ancient Athenian potters through her project, but also with the Pottery’s first director.

Uncharted: Bryan Vargas
2025-05-01 20:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Greenwich House Music School is pleased to present Bryan Vargas in its annual Uncharted Concert Series, part of the Baisley Powell Elebash Artists in Residence Program.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Facebook / Instagram
Bryan Vargas, a native New Yorker with Puerto Rican roots, has spent his entire life immersed in the vibrant, ever-evolving music scene of the city. Vargas spent years honing his craft as a jazz guitarist, but today his musical journey spans across genres and continents. Known for his versatility, he seamlessly blends influences from cumbia, Hungarian gypsy music, Cuban rumba, Latin jazz, blues, and beyond.
With his early ensemble, Bryan Vargas y ¡Ya Está!, he sought to forge deeper connections to his cultural heritage, embracing the rhythmic, danceable elements of Afro-Latin jazz. Over time, his musical journey expanded as he collaborated with new artists and projects, including serving as the original guitarist for the Afrobeat collective Antibalas and playing a key role in the Fela! musical and its subsequent tour. These experiences led him to discover his unique sound—a powerful blend of tradition and innovation in which he writes instrumental music with messages of resistance.
As Vargas explains, “It comes down to how I identify myself. I live in New York City, a place where I am influenced by everything but still am able to honor my traditions and identity. I’m not pressured to conform to generic Americana. I’m allowed to be me, to share these collective experiences. And I feel like my music reflects that.” His work on the Uncharted stage will continue to explore the intersection of cultural heritage, musical innovation, and personal expression.
Uncharted, now in its eleventh year, has been an invaluable resource for New York-based musicians to develop original material, foster new collaborations, and premiere first-look projects in an intimate concert setting.

Uncharted: Sirintip
2025-04-24 20:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Greenwich House Music School is pleased to present Sirintip in its annual Uncharted Concert Series, part of the Baisley Powell Elebash Artists in Residence Program.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Website / Facebook / Instagram / X
Sirintip is a truly global artist whose work seamlessly merges diverse disciplines and cultures. Born and raised in Thailand, she later moved to Sweden to study music. Eventually, she made her way to New York, where she established herself as an electronic-influenced alternative Jazz singer, composer, and producer. Describing herself as a “research artist,” Sirintip is driven by an insatiable curiosity, seeking to answer profound questions through her music.
Her latest project, Mycelium, is an interdisciplinary suite performed by a nine-piece ensemble, three dancers, and visual projections. Sirintip spent two weeks aboard a research vessel in the North Pacific, collaborating with scientists studying plankton and fungi. This immersive experience allowed her to draw fascinating connections between the microscopic world of microorganisms and the larger narratives of human society. In another project, Carbon, she explored the impact of environmental change by sampling plastic waste to create rhythmic tracks and translating NASA’s climate data into striking musical representations of global temperature rise.
For her Uncharted performance, Sirintip is developing a piece that investigates how emotion is physically stored in the body. Her work continues to evolve, blending art, science, and technology in ways that invite audiences to reconsider the world around them.
Uncharted, now in its eleventh year, has been an invaluable resource for New York-based musicians to develop original material, foster new collaborations, and premiere first-look projects in an intimate concert setting.

To build their community in New York, Julia del Palacio and Claudia Valentina first had to travel to Mexico. It was in the campo in Veracruz, immersed in nature and studying Son Jarocho, that they truly came to understand the communal essence of the Fandango. This vibrant celebration, a spontaneous fusion of musicians, dancers, and audience engaged in call-and-response, became the cornerstone of their vision. It’s from this foundation that they began to build their sound—and community—bringing that energy back to the city, forming Juntas Chicas. Today, Juntas Chicas is shaped by the perspective of two women experimenting with the traditional forms and working in a genre long dominated by men, influenced by collaborations with musicians from other genres that reflect the unique swirl of sounds in New York.
Expanding the boundaries of Son Jarocho into a new century, their Uncharted performance will continue to carry that dynamic energy to new spaces, further expanding their community and pushing the evolution of the art form.
Uncharted, now in its eleventh year, has been an invaluable resource for New York-based musicians to develop original material, foster new collaborations, and premiere first-look projects in an intimate concert setting.
