That's the way to rack up those points, gordo, lay it on thick. Celeste, next time you visit, you can come with us to Moosewood and have ANY dessert you like, alright?
my love for moosewood goes back years (i have a couple of their cookbooks)and now that they are displaying your stuff my love for them have increased that much more. very cool!
Ok, I feel I am missing some culinary icon here, but I don't know Moosewood. However, their show of your things proves their excellent taste in all things fun and beautiful.
OH! Well, it is the most famous vegetarian restaurant in the world, with perhaps the most famous series of veg books in the world. And they called you a hippie???
Oh Gary, that wasn't so bad really. To be honest, I'm just called a hippie. I seriously doubt that I could live up to that name in reality. I mean after all, I do wear clothes every day. :-)
In fact, I'm so not hippie knowledgeable like I ought to be that I had to do some research to find out the difference between vegetarian and vegan - which by the way I found quite fascinating. Which are you?
Maybe Mags, I should call myself a veggetarian: I am vegetarian by choice, since the age of 16 although with some breaks until ten years ago, straight veg since, but I can't handle dairy anymore. And dairy is everywhere, in chocolate, in the delicious vegetarian Indian food I had the other day, in muffins.....but it is easy these days to work around dairy, and I probably will have low cholesterol. BUT, remeber, I have gotten recipe ideas from YOU, so you know more than you think.
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

Excellent! Screw those damned big-city show judges. I still love that teapot.

Sorry, Mags, that was a low blow, and you're a really nice person. Their cookbooks are everywhere.

Congrats, Gar! Next thing you know, Moosewood will include those teapots in a color spread in their next cookbook!
Good thing I have your autograph now, before it becomes unbearably expensive to buy off eBay....
