I was lucky to go to Bennington College from '83 until I graduated in '87. A little place with only a few hundred students and the studios never closed. I had big fluffy hair.
Mother of: I am famous for never having seen the inside of a barber shop or salon, so please, a perm? God and my parents gave me this hair. Just had a more few inches up top back then. Abigail: I would say, a kindergarten teacher with a part-time job?
As my old pal Gordo says:
"You want plain, old pots or plates? Go see the other guys. You want whimsy and creativity? Gary's the man!"

my pots are lead-free, microwaveable and dishwasher safe, just don't drop them!
Mary Lee got her pots and says: "Love 'em both......I'm also much relieved to find that both pieces are useable in any of the traditional manners, micro, dishwasher, etc., something I'd wondered about.
I'm truly delighted ....the glaze is so very much nicer in person. Photos do not do it justice, alas! "
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.

From Quebec, Mags gets excited:
GUESS WHAT? My pots arrived! Oh my GOD! They are beautiful and you are soooooooooo sweet
another happy pig lover wrote:
Thank you so much for the prompt delivery...... I LOVE it!!! This day has been very stressful, and your package certainly brightened it. :-) (Sometimes all ya need is a couple of pigs!)
These will be favorites.
Thanks again, M.P.
When Mona opened up her box of pots she said:
I went all gooshy 'cause they're absolutely amazing! The pigs are gosh-darned cute, and the glaze-work is gorgeous! I can't keep my hands off them! Seriously! I keep finding excuses to walk by them .....
Lucia has something to say:
Gary -
You're awesome.
The vase is beautiful!! It's even more lovely than it looked in the photo. And the surprise, I laughed so loud at its cuteness that a co-worker came in and asked what was so funny. Thank you so much! I felt just like it was Christmas here in the office this morning, and I'm smiling. Wooooohooo!!! You're excellent.

E.S. sez:
The package made it in excellent condition! I absolutely loved them. I almost couldn't part with the pig mug, but I gave it to my coworker for her birthday who is in love with pigs.
and more happy customers say:
"Gary, my pots arrived! They're beautiful just as I expected
I just wanted to thank you ever so much...adorable." Maggie

The boots make that look.
Is that shelf all your work? You were making hookas?
That is my work and those are my boots. Those were COFFEE POTS.
Canadians sure are weird.
I'm lovin' the whole look! The hair is great!
My goodness Abigail, up late!
I am able to laugh at myself, then and now, and just about everything else too.
Your head and hair are about the size of the spherical vases. An interesting motif.
He who have big hair make big vase.
I was up way too late! I was busy w/ school stuff until 11:30, but still needed to catch up on my blogging.
I spent all day today in an almost-coma state. SOOOO tired! Now I'm off to my part-time retail job. Oh joy.
Oh Abigail, you're so busy, and were sick earlier!
Oh yeah, That IS BIG hair! I always thought big Afros looked like baobab trees. Please tell me you didn't get it permed!!!??
What can I say- I'm a glutton for punishment!
