David Eichelberger

EXCITING UPDATE: I am excited to share that, a few days ago, I accepted a position as the newest member of the Ceramics Faculty at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA!  Beginning this fall, I will join the outstanding Mikey Walsh @mommamakermikeywalsh and work to contribute to the established excellence of the LSU undergrad and graduate programs @lsuceramics . I am humbled to have been asked, and I feel deeply privileged to have the opportunity to share my passions with the dedicated students at LSU. I imagine this role as the next phase of my commitment to the ceramic arts, and a continuation of many years of work in the studio. Together with Mikey, I look forward to giving back to the discipline that has helped shape me, and to welcoming new students from all walks of life to LSU. There is so much to explore in the field of ceramics... bring your curiosity, and let’s get to work! My sincerest thanks to the LSU College of Art + Design for this opportunity!

David Eichelberger’s (@davideich ) career has included time as a studio potter, professor, designer, and community educator. In our recent Tales of a Red Clay Rambler interview we focus on his personal studio practice hand-building serving platters and his role as designer for Two/One Ceramics (@twooneceramics ) alongside his wife, artist Elisa Di Feo. We discuss how working with bisque ring molds allows him to bring a new level of attention to his forms, as well as the collaborative aspects of design. In addition to his studio practice Eichelberger is the director of the Marlboro Studio School (@marlborostudioschool ) offering craft instruction in Marlboro, VT. #talesofaredclayrambler

Blain Exhibition Highlight: David Eichelberger (@davideich ) David Eichelberger was born in Roanoke, Virginia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. While in college at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, David was introduced to functional ceramics. In-depth study, drawing from a range of instructors and influences, earned him a B.F.A. Degree in 2000, followed by his M.F.A. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, in 2010. David makes ceramic objects with a functional sentiment and a sculptural approach to form, and his work has been shown extensively throughout the states. While continuing his personal practice, David also runs Two|One Ceramics (@twooneceramics ) with his wife, artist Elisa Di Feo, as a way to bring their sensibilities of one-of-a-kind, hand-made tableware into the arena of contemporary ceramic design. Elisa and David develop prototypes and small-scale production techniques to suit their work. Every step of their process starts from scratch, with raw materials and big ideas. Their extensive backgrounds in the field of contemporary American art ceramics gives Elisa and David the perfect starting point for making home wares that suit a desire for stylish, unique, and thoughtful functional ceramics. Check out David’s work in the “The Utilitarian Clay Symposium’s Celebrate the Object: Presenters and Invited Artists Exhibition” in the Sandra J. Blain Galleries, open through November 26, 2025. #arrowmont ﹋﹋ “Disharmonic,” stoneware, glaze, 2025 “Corresponding Arcs,” stoneware, glaze, 2025 “For Collecting,” stoneware, glaze, 2025

Basket weaving is meditative, transformative, and magical. It’s looping, maneuvering, feeling, flexing, negotiating, trusting, learning, giving, and taking just a bit. To weave a basket is to be in conversation with the fibers; it’s coaxing an object into existence with great care and consideration. Then suddenly it begins to take shape: your basket! A surprising and delightful moment. An object comes into view from what was once a heap of materials and an image in your mind’s eye; an object containing memories of the weaving experience—fibers infused with your effort and care—every plane formed by your firm-but-gentle craftsmanship. Your basket is something to take or to give, to be admired and used and enjoyed for years to come. 🧺 Adirondack Pack Basket Weaving Workshop with Alexa René Rivera (@wovn.country ) 🛏️ Residential accommodations available 🗓️ May 3 & 4 📍The Marlboro Studio School Enrollment is currently open online at marlborostudioschool.org (link in @marlborostudioschool bio.) #marlborostudioschool #marlborovt #craftschool #craftschoolexperience #ceramics #artstudio #vermontartist #art #ceramicstudio #woodworking #metalcasting #jewelry #printmaking #basketry #basketweaving #handwoven #handmade #fiberarts #naturaldye #preciousmetalclay #handmade #hands #artclass #clay #southernvermont
