Absolutely am smitten with the work of the Energy Xchange potter, Dave Eichelberger. Love the fine lines and surfaces of these pots, as well as the interesting forms.
Well worth checking out is the Energy Xchange, the home of several potters and glass blowers who use the power generated by a landfill in Western North Carolina to fire kilns and furnaces, and operate their studios.
More about the Energy Exchange (from their website): "The EnergyXchange Incubator program was established to support entrepreneurs in starting, managing and operating new businesses in the crafts of glass blowing and pottery. The clay kiln and glass furnaces are fired with landfill gas at no additional cost to the residents with a projected savings over the life of the project estimated at over a million dollars.
