About Me
- gary rith
- 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.

oh so nice
that's a great colour gary.. yeah I know it's "white".. but it's not at the same time.. very appealing.
it has some green tinges, from copper vapor off of nearby green pots!
Now there's something I never considered: cross contamination in the kiln. Hmmm.
Those bunnies look like they're ready to make a run for it.
they are on their way cm...and YES, cobalt (blue) and copper (green) vapors can circulate and contaminate or influence other glazed pieces--which is all fine for me, I like unexpected, pretty, outcomes
love how the edges of the cups look a little "worn" giving them some age and history :)
one day, when we get this debt officially off our backs, I'm going to contact you and beg you to make me a set of dinner dishes in that exact color. and then I will love you forever and put a huge sign on top of my roof that says, Buy Pottery From Gary, He Rocks the Pots!
That is beautiful. I love the flecks in it.
Awww, sweet.
And I also adore that color!
That color is just purely wonderful! Cross pollinations does wonders for lots of things, I'd say. But this is gorgeous! Do it again!
Is this new class you're taking doing something, Gary? I see you evolving here. Your colors are becoming absolutely stunning. As I said before - very sharp, crisp. Nicely done.
very very nice indeed. great colour.
Gorgeous depth of color (and the bunnies are pretty cool, too)... the bamboo picks up the "cross-contamination" tones from the pottery.
Do you make dinner plates?
How awesome is that? It wasn't a question. It IS awesome. Man, you could easily make me a teaset collector. :)
