"&lt;p style=\"margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px\"&gt;Ben Owen III is a potter from Seagrove, North Carolina. His forefathers came to NC from England as early as the late 1700s to ply their craft and furnish storage jars and other utilitarian wares to early settlers. Ben's grandfather, master potter Ben Owen, Sr., admired early Asian pottery he saw displayed in museums and collections. He translated those works into his own style. Ben studied pottery as an apprentice with his grandfather and later at East Carolina University. Like his grandfather, Ben III's pottery reflects a foundation in traditional designs alongside Asian influences. Ben has participated in workshops and conferences throughout the US and in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and recently China.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u00A0&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
