Greenwich House Pottery offers classes, including sculpting and firing, of six[1] or twelve weeks in duration. There are day and evening classes for beginners to advanced students throughout the year.[10] It teaches children, starting with toddlers, and adults.[5][11] In addition to classes, it also offers lectures and workshops. It conducts exhibitions and performs outreach to the community.[12]
Within Greenwich House Pottery is the Jane Hartsook Gallery.[13] The Gallery was named in honor of Jane Hartsook, former Pottery Director, for her leadership role in making it "one of the nation's leading ceramic arts studios," according to Alfred University.[14]
Owing, in part, to a renaissance in ceramics, enrollment at the pottery grew to a point where a major renovation was planned. Starting in 2019, the pottery will undergo substantial changes which include adding an elevator, expanded workspace, more kilns, and a roofdeck.
