Recently Professor Bob Anderson, who is responsible for the fruition of the China Exchange Programs, united West Virginia University and JingDezhen Ceramic Institute,"JCI" in a linkage that was able to renovate a dormant building for the use of a ceramic facility. This facility would combine Western ceramic understanding and studio layout with Chinese facilitation allowing a mixing of ceramic cultures. Professor Anderson and JCI are creating a one of a kind learning environment for both cultures to exchange ideas and ceramic education.
