Mona has introduced the topic of hair. I had some big hair in the 80s. My type is fuzzy, therefore the natural lift and upward trend. C'est moi, making pots in 1987.
It gets worse! In front I had a long curl that hung down like Superman's (or a certain popstar) and in back a little rat tail growing down a few inches. Some sort of Cure or Til Tuesday look. :^)
you should grow it back like that again...just for the hell of it...and because it's really cold out and it'll help to keep you warm...and because you are one of the few who can! retro is in, u know. how cool would that be!
Denis and I BOTH had more hair back then. Big D--it is esp. fluffy these days as I am too apathetic to do anything about it. It sticks up 4 inches straight if I let it.
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.
--Lucia
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

I love the hair! Two thoughts:
1) "Beakman's World"
2) Robert Smith of The Cure
Did you comb it, or just finger-tease it? It looks finger-able....
Man, I miss Beakman! Boy #1 would love him.
I had a flattop in high school. :-)
My hair did whatever the hell it wanted to do. Still does. Just a bit shorter these days.
Is it OK to laugh? Really, really hard?
Have a look Friday morning, I have an even better one lined up.
coloUr it red and call you beaker! =)
ahh yes, the days back when hair was proud to be hair.
It gets worse! In front I had a long curl that hung down like Superman's (or a certain popstar) and in back a little rat tail growing down a few inches. Some sort of Cure or Til Tuesday look.

it certainly brings back fond memories.

Wow! It's a walkin' tree! Did you use one of those picks to kinda comb it?!
it ::sniff:: does its own thing, no picks needed.
