Who we are
Hudson River Potters is an organization
encompassing more than 40 potters living and
working in New York's Hudson Valley, including
Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Dutchess
Counties....
Unified as a compass and diverse as its many
points, the Hudson River Potters includes
sculptors, whistle-makers, and production
potters who make teapots and mugs, jugs and
plates: coilbuilders, slabthrowers,
wheelthrowers; potters who work with low-fire
earthenware clay, with stoneware, and with
porcelain, in styles that run the gamut from
rough to smooth, from controlled to
spontaneous, from plain to fancy. More an
affinity group than an organization the Hudson
River Potters provides its members with a
yeasty atmosphere rich in shared techniques
and creative energy.

What We Do
For 30 years, Hudson River Potters has been
nurturing the creative talents of ceramic artists,
whether sculptural or functional.
We are an informal group, loosely structured.
Membership is open to anyone who wants to join,
with no jurying.
HRP has monthly meetings September through June.
Meetings are held during the second week of each
month and may alternate days on a monthly basis so
as many members as possible can attend.
The Hudson River Potters is a group whose vitality is
in its flexibility for grouping and regrouping: an
organization whose programs grow out of the
interests and immediate needs of its members. The
real strength of the HRP is the tremendous sense of
personal involvement of the members with groups,
of individual development through associations.
