Clay and Glaze Handbook

Our Clay and Glaze Handbook is a compilation of all the recipes we use to make materials at the Pottery. All information within it has been handed down through the years. Pursuing the highest standard in education, we offer this information so our students and the entire world has free access to information that has taken over a century to acquire and as long to refine.

A copy of our Clay and Glaze Handbook is available for purchase for $30 in the Administration Office, or you may download the Clay and Glaze Handbook for free here.

Student Handbook

Our Student Handbook is provided to remind returning students and to acquaint new students with Greenwich House Pottery’s (GHP) guidelines. We encourage each student to become familiar with this information to ensure that things run safely and smoothly in the studios, so we can provide you with the best experience possible. Read the guidelines for Jones Street here and for Chelsea here.
* When reviewing the student guidelines, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING STUDIO INFORMATION ABOUT OUR JONES STREET LOCATION: Due to an unexpected interruption to the gas service at our historic Jones Street building, please be aware that until further notice, firings will shift from ∆10 to ∆6 glazes for the summer term starting on July 8. Though we are working to accelerate these repairs, given that summer term is only six short weeks at Jones Street, it unlikely that gas kiln firings will be available before the term ends. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we look forward to seeing you in class this summer!
