Robin Righton was born in Kimberley B.C. in 1947 and died in Victoria B.C. in 1999. He attended the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson B.C. from 1968 to 1971 and a studio apprentice at the Clay Association in Calgary, Alberta from 1971 to 1972. He established a studio in Victoria, British Columbia called Swan Lake Pottery. For 27 years he plied his craft leaving behind a legacy of beautiful studio ceramics. He first exhibited stoneware vases in Faenza, Italy and has had exhibitions in Alberta, Vancouver and Victoria, including the 25th Anniversary Exhibition of the Potters Guild of B.C. "Retrospect Ceramics 80" whose exhibition catalogue features three of his works. Robin Righton's work is illustrated in The Art of Earth by Rona Murray and Walter Dexter and A Catalogue of British Columbian Potters compiled by Bob Kingsmill. His work was exhibited at Retrospect Ceramics 80 - 25th Anniversary of the Potters Guild of B.C., an invitational exhibition featuring 120 national and international ceramic artists who received honours locally or at the national and international level, as well as those who contributed to the growth and development of ceramics in British Columbia over the previous 25 years. In order to more fully represent ceramic arts throughout the province, invitations to the exhibition were not restricted to members of the Potters Guild. Robert Weghsteen and Hiro Urakami were jurors for the juried section of the exhibition.
