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.

Premiere: Clay in Context at the Whitney Museum
2025-06-05 16:00 - 18:00
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.

Yoko Yates Quintet - Album Release Concert
2025-09-20 20:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Eternal Moments Album Release Concert
Yoko Yates Quintet
TICKETS:
Adults: $25 (advanced)
Youth (under 18): $20 (advanced)
Day of: $30 (cash) at the door ($25 youth)
At this concert, you will hear pieces from the brand new album Eternal Moments.
The performers are: Jamie Baum (Flt./A.Flt.), Sam Sadigursky (Cl/B.Cl./A.Sax.), Aryeh Kobrinsky (Bs.), Jeff Hirshfield (Ds.) and Yoko Yates (Pf/Composition).

Yoko Yates is a Japanese born and NYC based pianist, composer and educator. She serves as a piano faculty member at GHMS and BKCM. Her acclaimed 2022 debut on SteepleChase LookOut, Mystic Life, introduced a composer with a direct line to a beguiling trove of childhood memories. Her second album, Eternal Moments, showcases the same superlative cast of players while Yoko continues her sensorial sojourn, celebrating the wonders of the natural world (Andrew Gilbert).
Press Quotes:
Pianist-composer Yoko Yates expands on her unique musical concept on her Eternal Moments, her stunning sophomore album, set for a September 19 release on Banka Records. Retaining the quintet from her 2022 debut Mystic Life, it also includes 10 original post-bop jazz compositions that explore Yates’s enmeshed fascinations with visual imagery, autobiography, and the natural world. Eternal Moments is thus a natural, entirely organic follow-up to the much-lauded Mystic Life. “My first album was dedicated to childhood memory. I wrote from experiences related to nature and the world,” Yates explains. “This one is a little similar, but inspired by more recent experiences or events. I try to express more emotional complexity and more phases of each event, exploring a little more deeply.” – Terre Hinte, All About Jazz
https://www.allaboutjazz.com/news/pianist-composer-yoko-yates-deepens-her-evocative-original-vision-with-eternal-moments-to-be-released-september-19-by-banka-records/
From the meditative wonder of “Outer Space – Myriad Stars!” to the elegant melancholy of “The Flower Before It’s Last Day,” Yates paints vivid emotional landscapes shaped by memories, nature, and personal reflection. “Winding River” and “Aster,” the album’s focus track, channel the quiet power and resilience found in the natural world, with expressive improvisation and rich acoustic textures. – Banka Records
