Please allow me to reassure you that any personal information you have entrusted me with to join my collector's list (Sign Up) is held on a secure database and is strictly for my use only. 

I also realise how much digital communication we receive, so I keep these emails to a minimum (about 3-5 times a year) and ensure that the content is relevant to yourself as a collector: the release of new pieces or very occasionally about my exhibitions.

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from this list, I always include an 'unsubscribe' button at the bottom of any correspondence. Or alternatively, you can email me at hello@susiebenes.com and I will sort that out for you immediately.

 All my sculptures are painstakingly hand-made without molds. 

My mixed media sculptures are each individually constructed using lightweight clay or paper over a strong and complex armature that allows for delicate details, but provides maximum strength for the sculpture to withstand transport and handling.

The primary material is a museum-grade Japanese clay, selected for its strength and archival properties. Surface decoration are of the highest artist quality and selected for their lightfastness and superiority.

Each sculpture is finished with a sealer to intensify colours and ensure it is protected from UV rays. Only the finest quality materials have been used to produce your sculpture, and proper care will ensure it lasts a lifetime.

My ceramic sculptures are made using various stoneware clays and can be both glazed or unglazed.

MIXED MEDIA ARTWORK
Dust regularly with a soft, dry brush. An artist paint brush or new blush brush are ideal. Do not use water.

For best results, display sculptures at stable room temperature and humidity levels. Avoid placing it on a bright window ledge or in direct sunlight, and keep away from water.

Glass display cases and cabinets are the simplest solution for protecting and displaying fine art sculpture. It's best to use latex/vinyl gloves when handling a sculpture to prevent fingerprints being left on it.

CERAMIC SCULPTURES
Ceramic sculptures don't require special care, but should not be placed outside.

I accept commissions on a limited basis. If you are interested in commissioning a sculpture, whether it be for yourself or someone special, please contact me hello@susiebenes.com
