Dear Loyal Friends and Customers,

Better Earth in the North Market has supported and featured the work of local artists in Central Ohio for many years. One of our favorites is local craftsman and “legend” Robert Eickholt. Robert has been one of Columbus’ “stars” in the glassblowing community since 1978. His studio has nurtured numerous protégés and apprentices and his work has been featured in galleries both locally and nationally.

In Thanksgiving 2008 Robert Eickholt closed his doors and is no longer producing his beautiful blown glass. As a tribute to this outstanding artist and as an opportunity for glass lovers and collectors, Better Earth has purchased and will feature many final run pieces of glass from his final selection. Paperweights, vases, one-of-a-kind artist samples and more will be sold at Better Earth until our supply is gone. So please, stop in, take a look, admire and maybe even purchase a piece of one of Columbus’ native son’s beautiful works of art.

Warmest Regards, Dareen Wearstler at Better Earth
