Benjamin Owen IV (b. 2005), the youngest child of sixth-generation potter Ben Owen III, has been making pots since a young age. Benjamin graduated from Uwharrie Charter Academy High School in Asheboro, NC in 2023. He is currently attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA as a freshman. His current passions include governmental science, policymaking, investment, and turning clay in his father’s studio. As a long-standing tradition in the Owen Family, creating with clay is a way for Benjamin to carry on his family’s legacy and connect with his roots. Benjamin’s work has been featured in the Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC and the Gallery at Grandover in Greensboro, NC.
