Riri's pottery haus Exquisite wheel-thrown functional stoneware treasures with a decidedly Lovecraftian flair, by Ria Lira Levine! Guaranteed to confer a 300% tastiness bonus!

One misty June afternoon in 2009, on a whim, Ria decided to take her first pottery class at Wesleyan Potters, an art and craft guild in Middletown, CT. The rest, as they say, is history. She is quickly becoming known for her distinctive style, recognizable for the exquisite original designs she drapes over the graceful curves of her wheel-thrown stoneware vessels. Refusing even to accept inspirati

on from outside sources, she bases all of her designs on doodles from her sketchbook. Despite the opulent appearance of her work, her focus is primarily utilitarian - every piece is designed with function and comfort of use in mind, and is food, dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. During the small fraction of her time in which she isn't completely slathered in clay, she enjoys subtropical gardening and playing video games, and has a particularly warm fondness for tea and fixing broken electronics and computers. But, if given the choice, Ria's entire bio would have instead gleefully read: "I play with mud and fire! :3"

Hey, lovelies.

Over the past ten years, I've had the incredible fortune of meeting countless amazing, kind, and empathetic people at art festivals across the country, many of whom I consider friends - and so, surely I'm preaching to the choir here. But as we know, silence merely conveys tacit acceptance.

I'll keep this brief. Unequivocally, black lives matter. Police brutality is completely unacceptable. There is precisely zero room for debate or whataboutism.

Here's a comic to gently explain this to anyone who needs a polite nudge over to the right side of history.

Be safe out there.

While I'm sad to have not been able to make it to Arisia on what would have been my ninth consecutive year, I'm delighted to report that a modest selection of my teaware - a teapot, a smattering of mugs, and a handful of trivets/teabag holders! - is available at Tea and Absinthe in the dealer's room! Descend upon them! *urgent hands* :D

P.S. I MISS EVERYONE UGH
