Robert Milnes Studio
Bender Gallery
The Bender Gallery has represented my work since 2019. Works in the gallery include large copper and clay sculptures and freestanding ceramic pieces. All artworks are made with earthenware clay, fired to 1940 degrees and feature highly textured glazes and elaborately carved surfaces. Some of the pieces are assembled with high strength epoxy and all are suitable for installation outside. though it would be best to protect them from freezing. Contact the gallery for prices.
