Pottery and Philosophy at Horseshoe Mountain Pottery

For over thirty years Joe and Lee Bennion have been husband/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 part one 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, Utah.  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.

(Watch for part two featuring the visual art of Lee Bennion next
week.)

That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull.
