'Yes', we can agree that most potters are scruffy looking, although they look pretty sharp in their Bears t-shirt. Football season is around the corner, oh yes it is!
Nope, not all potters are so scruffy. Why, I never look scruffy! No indeed. Why, if I don't shave for a month, no one even notices! Nice shirt by the way. I grew up in Chicago- well, Oak Park, but close enough.
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

you call that scruffy! go unshaven for another 4 days then take another picture. i should know, i'm the king of scruffiness.
I shave if I plan on going out into the public. I avoid the public.
Hockey season comin' up too, Big D!
the habs had a pretty disappointing season last year. i'm fearing even worse for the coming year. oh well...
Football? Hockey? Come on, we haven't even had the Ex yet. Let's not rush through summer.
Oh, I am COUNTING on the Habs having another bad year, D, I would even put my money on it.
Well, CM, baseball is OK, but the sports where people get knocked down are more entertaining.
Are you checking the Syracuse schedule?
THIS time get the wife to drive/shop and we can go to football.
hey, gar, we haven't bet on anything in a long time.

I hear that scruffy dudes with potentially BIG HAIR abound in the pottery business!
