| Joe Bennion Avery Tea Bowl wood-fired stoneware (4 x 4 inches) CUP 013 $40 SOLD |
I enjoy making pottery by hand on a foot powered treadle wheel. The physical involvement places me deeper in the process. The gentle sound of the wheel and the soft resistance of the clay in my hand are at once comforting and pleasant.

Pleasure is an important element of our life in this world. It gives meaning and balance to the confusion, pain and sorrow we encounter here. I hope that as people take my pottery in hand and use it they will recognize some of the experience I have had in making it and will find pleasure of their own in daily use.
