Curtis Benzle: artist, business man, porcelain instructor.

Knowing Curt Benzle has been a blessing in many ways. Not only is his work inspirational in nature, but as a person, his insight into the art business is encouraging. 
As a college professor, he realized that students need more than art education to become successful. Therefore, over a period of 20 years, he developed a course to help get students knowledge of how to be successful in the art of business. All Artists Making A Living (AAMAL) is now available as a 10-week online class at TeachinArt.
Listen to the stories from his days as a young artist, finding his way with porcelain, becoming an artist, and seeing his work in the library of the Whitehouse.

Picture
Curt mixed his own porcelain clay early on. Translucent porcelain was not readily available in America. He has a funny story about it.
Picture
He uses a razor thin knife to cut the patterns with which he forms his bowls.
Picture
The natural tendency of porcelain to crack is not a problem in his hands. He enhance those with golden inlays, called kintsugi.
