About Me
- gary rith
- Gary Rith is a full-time studio potter and also an instructor of pottery at Cornell University's Pot Shop. Gary started learning pottery in 1983. In 1985 he served as an apprentice to Dean White of Deansboro, NY and earned a bachelor's degree in art from Bennington College in 1987. He has been a full-time sculptor and potter since 1997. Gary started his business in New Hamspshire, where he was selected as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2004 and in 2005 was named one of New Hampshire's Emerging Ceramics Artists. He moved to the Ithaca, NY area in 2006, near where he grew up, and is happily making pots and sculpture in a purple house on Fall Creek. Gary likes to laugh, and his first goal is to have fun making pots.

Just to confirm, we agreed that your have entered your bug-eyed phase. Who knows what the archaeologists will made of it?
they look like fun and interesting chess pieces. what are they going to be used for? they are very cool indeed!
What you say, Denis makes sense, and I have made chess pieces, just not lately. Those little guys are destined to be placed on an overpriced jar that would hold very little, but rank very high on the cuteness scale.
Alan, exagerrated equals cute. Big teeth, big smile, big eyes. One hopes that in certain quarters, cute sells.
(goodness, I don't know how to spell anymore...)
With artists, it's called a "period" is it not? Picasso had his Blue Period. Rith has his Bug-Eyed Period.
The technical term, sir, is 'googly-eyed'
so.. just to make sure, they're NOT GOGGLES??? made out of repsect for Gordo traveling to climes warmer and swimming with the sea rays?
My mistake, oh master of dirt. I must admit to wondering which term was correct, but I went with bug-eyed to match Alan. It's his fault.
It has been noticed before that our man greg is a troublemaker....
I'm beginning to think you're all trouble-makers.
(Angelic look)
Yeah, and Celeste, international woman of mystery, is the biggest troublemaker or all, right?

Your comments are as highly entertaining as your posts!
I love those "googly-eyed" hippos. If they weren't sitting atop a jar, I would want to buy one. I'm going to have to peruse your blog to see if I've missed any obvious or non-obvious instructions thus. I've been known to do that. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Maggie, we need more goofball Canadians like you around here, even better that you're an American living in Quebec. You have all th bases covered.
Make no mistake, Maggie, I can put a hippo anywhere, or stand alone as a sugar bowl, and over charge for it.
(in truth, I am shockingly affordable. I have been known to trade pottery for sticks)
