Earthworks Gallery

Earthworks Pottery in Greensboro, NC, is a pottery gallery founded by Molly Lithgo and Jim Rientjes. They both use red earthenware clay and a rich earth-tone glaze palette to create everyday objects that are both functional and visually appealing. Molly's work focuses on wheel thrown, altered, and hand-built vessels that capture a sense of movement, while Jim's pieces are inspired by geometric forms and his love of building things.

Together, they also collaborate on unique pieces that blend their distinctive styles. Molly incorporates decorative techniques such as carving, slips, under-glazes, and sgraffito to enhance the flow between two-dimensional decorative expression and three-dimensional functional design. Jim, on the other hand, enjoys creating repetitive objects and sets that work well together, using traditional glazing techniques to enhance and define shape and structure. At Earthworks Pottery, each piece is one-of-a-kind, reflecting the artists' passion for their craft and their dedication to creating objects for everyday use and enjoyment.
