Behunin began working with pottery as a freshman at Highland High. That experience began a 24-year-long dance with the clay that has taken Ben to exotic places, such as North Carolina, France, Switzerland, Germany, England, Italy, Austria and Hawaii in pursuit of his education and his passion. For the past 17 years, Ben has been making his living exclusively as a slinger of slime and a maker of mudpies. In 2009, after nearly 12 years of being a closet-writer, Ben published the first of his Niederbipp Trilogy, Remembering Isaac, the wise and joyful potter of Niederbipp. Later in 2009, came book two: Discovering Isaac. And the trilogy was completed with Becoming Isaac in 2010. Borrowing Fire was released December 2012. He is currently working on 47 other books that may be released sometime in the next 50 years if he can overcome his ADD. Ben is the father of two young budding potters, Isaac and Eve, ages 11 and 9. He and his wife Lynnette live in Salt Lake City, just inches away from his whimsically magical studio, Wild Rooster Artworks.
