This striking Rainbow Trout sculpture is a one‑of‑a‑kind piece with bold presence and beautifully varied surface detail. Hand‑sculpted and measuring approximately 12.25" long, 6" tall, and 4" deep, it captures the movement and character of this iconic freshwater fish.
Created by artists Alan and Rosemary Bennett, the sculpture is reduction‑fired in a gas kiln—a firing method that limits oxygen inside the chamber. In this environment, the glazes respond with dramatic shifts in tone and texture, developing deep color, subtle metallic flashes, and the moody, atmospheric surfaces that have become hallmarks of the Bennetts’ work.
Equally at home indoors or outside, this trout brings a sense of movement and shimmer wherever it finds a home.

About Alan & Rosemary Bennett
Alan and Rosemary Bennett draw strong inspiration from their experiences in and around the water. Their creative process begins with a series of sketches, which are then transformed into primary forms using stoneware, clay, or porcelain. These forms are hollowed out, and detailed features like porcelain teeth and eyes are added. Afterward, the pieces are bisque fired, then glazed through dipping, spraying, and brushing techniques. Finally, the works are fired a second time, using methods such as Raku, reduction firing, wood firing, and other specialized techniques.
