(pots by Gary Rith)
When I was in college, Stanley, my ceramics prof, talked about pots and whether they were precious blah blah blah. But I like precious pottery, not big and muscular pottery. He made cute little pots and animals himself, so his work was precious too.
So, this teapot had a hollow hoop made seperately and I cut part for the spout and the rest became the handle. This is a tremendously fun idea, and I am going to do it more often. The lower pic shows two neo-classical sugar bowls. Sure, precious.
In other news, I am planning on doing a glaze commando raid, ninja style. I'll report back if I successfully snatched a glaze sample.

Good Morning, Gary!

Get yourself over to Jenn at juggling life---she has posted a picture of her beagle this morning, for her one-day-late WWC!

beagle??????
to quote yourself, "AROOOoooooo"

I really like the look of the teapot. It's unusual and eye catching.
I Really like the colour on the tea pot and your elephants are so cute!
The way that teapot is made makes it look very neat and organic---like it was born in and of itself through genetic splitting.
Love those very rounded, precise shapes!
Glaze? That made me perk up. You gonna share, Gary? I think your teapot with the spout/handle tube is brilliant.
