- 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.

You might want to consider an open bar next time. Just sayin'.
You're right, free drinks and people will buy all kinds of junk, even pottery!
Yeah, but I bet they'd buy lots if you had Penny there at the booth looking all cute and pettable!
Everything goes better with a little James Brown. Remind me to play my cell phone ringer for you the next time you're up, Gary: "I feel good!"
Classic, Gord.
Penny and our other dogs did quite a bit of barking and running around in the yard. I was able to point to them as inspiration for beagle banks and other such dog pots.
If you decide on the open bar, you better think about carpet too. THICK carpet for when people imbibe too much and start dropping stuff. Glad it went well...
