For more than 30 years, Joe and Lee Bennion have been husband and wife, potter/painter, river runner/camp cook and any number of other partnerships together. Every fall the Bennions open their pottery shop and painting studio for visitors and shoppers on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving for a special sale.
In this first of two articles, I interviewed renowned potter Joe Bennion while he worked at the wheel at Horseshoe Mountain Pottery on Main Street in Spring City, Sanpete County. Against the quiet creak of his foot-driven potter's wheel, you'll hear about his creative philosophy, how even pottery can honor the Lord and how clay pieces are like people.
You'll also learn about two artists who made a life for themselves in the place they love, doing what they love and blessing the world in the process. (Watch for part two featuring the visual art and thoughts of Lee Bennion next week.)
That's this week on the Cricket and Seagull.
