Stella Benford

I became seriously interested in pottery much later than painting but after taking evening classes at Tresham College  Kettering I became resident potter at Wicksteed Park for almost 20 years.

For as long as I can remember I have loved painting and although very diverse in my interests  (ceramics,/papier mache /metal constructions batik and others!), I think painting is my favourite.

I enjoy METAL  SCULPTURE  using steel plate, utilising scrapped parts from cars, ie.old exhaust pipes/valves, old bicycles, plus almost any metal items that were of no use anymore.. I use a Mig Welder and a Plasma Cutter,
