Henry Levine
Syd Entel Galleries is proud to present the work of Henry Levine.
Born and raised in Bethesda Maryland, Henry Levine has designed and
created vessels since he started classes at Glen Echo pottery in 1973.
During school at Walt Whitman High, Henry would skip out of his algebra II
classes to work in the ceramics lab. After receiving a B.A. in economics
and English at The University of Rochester, he worked at a bank for a
couple of years, found it very dry and longed for a creative outlet. So, in
1984, Henry returned to school to fulfill his dream of becoming a
production potter.
At Alfred University, he got bit by the glass bug and did not make any clay
pots. Instead, he attended classes in ceramic sculpture, glass blowing and
neon art. After graduating Alfred, Henry worked as a neon technician at
Vacuform Industries for one year before buying Quality Neon Products.
As a neon manufacturer, Henry employed fifteen people and wholesaled
neon lights to large sign companies who shipped his products nationwide.
Henry owned and operated the neon shop for ten years before moving to
southeast Ohio and opening Thorn Ridge Studios in 1999.
Henry is married, has three children and lives on a beautiful farm in the
foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. His continued mission is to
provide well-designed vessels that are functional, beautiful and affordable.
