Southern Utah, with its red rock landscape, intense blue skies and rich Native American history has been the focal point for Greg Worthington's 30-plus year career as a potter.  His clay vessels reflect Greg's passionate love of the landscape and its past cultures.  

While a pre-med student at Cedar City's Southern Utah University in the 60's, Greg was introduced to clay art by Lyman Whitaker whose metal wind sculptures today appear at the Worthington Gallery.  Greg instantly converted to art over science.  He set out directly after college to bring to the public not only his own pottery, but artwork from many of his friends, by opening his first gallery in a canyon just outside of Cedar City.

Greg Worthington has become best known for his Cliff Dweller style of pottery.  He produces mugs, bowls, jars, vases, pitchers, and ollas in this style.  Inspiration for the Cliff Dweller Series comes from the early native inhabitants of the Southwest - dubbed the Anasazi, who were the basket-makers-turned-potters of centuries past.  Greg's intricate one-of-a-kind patterns resemble basketry in a clay form.

Other styles of Worthington Pottery incorporate a number of his other self-designed glazes including cobalt blue, "Easter Egg", copper red and earth tone glazes.

Greg Worthington's pottery vessels are all made to be functional as well as beautiful.  He produces high fire stoneware, which is food safe, dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe and oven-usable.

In 1980 he opened what is now Worthington Gallery in Springdale, Utah, adjacent to Zion National Park.  The "family" of local and regional artists joining Greg in selling their work at the present location has grown to twenty individuals.
