Daniel Bennett & Teisha Bennett

I feel for my work to be executed to the fullest, that I have to use the medium of stoneware clay. In my work I want to have an earthy but elegant look, but also be functional as all things in nature. I like my art not only to be visually stimulating, but something you want to touch. The rough but elegant terrain I grew up around, emphasizing the contrast of rough textures and smooth curved surfaces, inspire my work. My pottery is best executed by starting out with wheel thrown stoneware then adding texture to each piece. My work is then fired, stained, glazed and refired to achieve the final outcome.
