CVPS Cow Power named Utility Green Power Program of the Year

The sustainable electricity that  lights my house and studio, fires my kiln, charges my iPod, and cooks my breakfast come from Central Vermont Power Service and is generated by collecting and burning methane from Vermont dairy farms.

The award was presented at the Department of Energy’s “Renewable Energy Markets 2009 ” conference in September:

“The Department of Energy appluads CVPS Cow Power for taking a leading role in advancing markets for renewable energy. Green Power is an effective way for households and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint, while creating jobs and cutting pollution. Through this innovative program, CVPS is responding to growing demand for clean, reliable electricity from our nation’s abundant renewable energy resources.”
– Dr. Steven Chu, Secretary of Energy

Holiday Studio Sale Dec. 4 & 5

Welcome one and all who can make it up or over for hot cider, cookies, and pottery.

For those of you who can’t attend, stay posted for upcoming additions to my webstore @ etsy.com.

The pot in the flier is a vase that I made before going down to the Washington Craft Show a couple weeks ago. It started as a big thrown cylinder that I cut apart, flattened into slabs, reassembled into a rectangle and added slabs for the top and bottom. I always appreciate a lack of balance and symmetry, so the mouth of the vase is off to the side which provides the possibility for unique arrangements.

I’ll post a preview of some of the other work for the holiday sale as well as directions and details shortly.

This is the work I delivered to lovely Northampton, Mass on Tuesday. It was a pretty drive through the Green Mountains as Fall is arriving and patches of orange and red are visible on the hillside. The show opened on Friday and runs through Nov. 8.

Tiffany, Isa and I will be going back on October 10th for the Opening Reception where I will likely be upstaged once again by my adorable 11 month old daughter – and rightly so.

This cycle brought out some new vases, serving dishes, and box forms as well as a transparent satin matt glaze, a white terra sigillata and a heavier dose of a dijon colored glaze than usual.

I’m honored to have the opportunity to show in this great gallery in this hip little New England town. Check out the website for The Artisan Gallery. If this is your neck of the woods, please stop by and take a look.
