About Me

- 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.

AWESOME BOWLS!!!
Oh, Gosh! I wants them, my presssciousssss!
:^)
Once again, unfair advantage for you! What have you been doing with Tink in order to get words picked with you in mind?
And I LOVE those bowls! Absolutely beautiful!
Yet again, words tailor-made for our favorite potter! Lovely bowls, too!
Great bowls Gary, lovely colours!
I love the mixed colors on the bowls! As if your work wasn't fantastic and beautiful before... you impress me more and more each time I visit here Gary. :)
Who is the owner of these bowls? They're not on Etsy, so I guess they are spoken for? How much would such a lovely set cost, and how big are they, anyway?
I need new dishes, but I can't find the perfect ones...or even close to perfect. We're normally quite frugal, but you say these are microwave and dishwasher safe...how non-frugal would I need to be to eat off of artwork everyday?
To heck with non=frugal! Just think of the pleasure derived from eating a lovely meal off a work of art! Check out any store and for hand thrown artisan work, which you won't be able to find, you cannot beat Gary's prices. So go for it. What I have of his, I would't part with for any price!
