Scott Benefield came to CCA in fall 2011, visiting with students in the Glass Studio on the Oakland campus for a lecture and demonstration. Benefield owns Isola Glass in Camano Island, Washington, and is a partner of BTU Studio in Randalstown, Northern Ireland.
While In the Hot Shop, Benefield made a blown vessel using techniques inspired and adapted from Italian maestro Archimede Seguso (1909-1999). Scott calls his hybrid technique “slow glass."
