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. ​

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