Ceramic Torso by Val Bennett

CLEAR AS MUD

POTTERY EXHIBITION
​Waihi Arts Centre & Museum
​23rd to 26th October 2020
​
A show where novice Potters engage and exhibit in the company of their established peers  and also acknowledge a local potter the late Val Bennett.

VAL BENNETT  -  Paeroa
Val worked in clay for over 40 years,primarily on the wheel,creating dinnerware,serving pieces and various functional pieces.
She had no formal Art Education and had recently taken on another direction,pursuing hand work often with a N.Z theme.
Her inspirations came from nature and the beautiful flora and fauna of the Coromandel Peninsula.
Sadly Val passed away in August while working on this Torso for the show.The intricate details are partly finished and it has now been glazed and will be cherished by a family member.
