In 1972, he was awarded a Louis Comfort Tiffany Grant for Ceramics to apprentice with John Glick’s Plum Tree Pottery, followed by three years as a resident artist at Penland School in NC. Rosti worked as an art director/designer for Holiday, Essence, Harper's Weekly, Horizon, and Studio Potter magazines. His work is in private collections in the U.S. and Europe. He received a purchase award from the International Academy of Ceramics (Geneva), traveled on the Concorde SST to London for Chief Executive magazine, and collaborated with Ansel Adams in Carmel, CA. In 1976, he designed the format/logo for the Boston Phoenix. He founded Red Mill Pottery in Peekskill, NY in 1979 and has focused on wood-fired ceramics and painting for the past 25 years.
