Stephen Benwell studied ceramics under Prof Noel John Flood. The ceramics medium became the basis of his art practice. He wrote,“I moved sideways into craft and pottery as a way to find a surface, a form, that I could put my painting onto.”
His work marries studio based investigations of the ceramicist with the painterly and sculptural concerns of the contemporary artist, eyeing the classical through the present.
