Pottery by Gary Rith

Pottery by Gary Rith There are a lot of boring pots out there, why not have some fun? https://www.etsy.com/shop/Rith In 1985 Gary was Dean White's apprentice in upstate NY.

Gary Rith began making pottery in 1983 as a ceramics major at Bennington College. After several years of teaching, including stints at the University of Illinois-Chicago Craft Shop and Cushing Academy, in 1997 he set up his first studio in New Hampshire and began making pots full-time. In 2006 he moved to the Ithaca, NY area, opened a new studio and taught at the Cornell University Ceramics Studio until it closed in 2011. 30 plus years, still going strong, making something new everyday!

Sometimes you open the kiln and you’re like “this baby is MINE” which myself and the wife said, but….. well, our house is full! So, gorgeous as it is, this piece I made goes on the shelf Saturday at Star Tree Studio, where a) I am at the counter with Ringo ten to three AND B) we are also having a big sale on artwork!

You say “sure they’re having a sale, but why bother going to Star Tree Studio?” — and the answer is This big bowl I just made will be there Saturday: it might not be a sale item but golly it looks cool 🙂 And myself and dog Ringo at the counter ten to three! (And yes, many other art items made by myself and others are also on display)

Not a great picture, but yes! As I said, I wanted to make a monster teapot to go with my monster mugs (left) and so made a little drawing (lower left) and made the teapot for an exhibit. But it sold! How unexpectedly early! So I made another and here it is and goes into my teapot exhibit at Hilton Garden Inn Seneca Place Gallery Ithaca this week :)

The Seneca Place gallery is part of Ithaca’s Hilton Garden Inn. My pal Rae Terwilliger is an illustrator and has the walls this month, I have the case! My display is up and I think it looks Fab. I had a monster teapot which -surprise!- sold, so the replacement I made will be added as soon as fired.
