Joshua Bennett holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from from Virginia Commonwealth University. While there he was the recipient of a Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship among other awards. After receiving his degree he went on to work as a set builder on Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," AMC's "Turn" and numerous theatrical productions. His experience as a prop-maker and set-builder along with his education in fine art make him a multi-talented and dynamic creator, ready to design or build with equal proficiency.

Joshua's work bridges a variety of genres: set-design, furniture design, large outdoor sculpture and more. His use of materials is equally varied: ranging from foam and resin to steel and wood. In his own words, he works in the medium he needs to. His love of making extends to his private life, where he maintains an extensive collection of vintage how-to books and manuals.

    For Rachele's Corner lounge chair

    Joshua did an amazing job designing a lounge chair for me. I told him what I wanted and besides a minor color mix up, the finished product came out exactly how I had envisioned it. My overall experience with Joshua was great. He stayed in communication with me throughout the entire process and had it delivered in a very timely manner. I would definitely work with Joshua again.

    I have no complaints at all about this project of Joshua's workmanship and demeanor. He built my couch and bed just as I wanted it. It's perfect! Then he delivered it and set it up in my home as well. While he was making the items, he sent me emails and photos of his work in progress, keeping me informed the entire time. I have no problem or hesitation recommending him and his work to others.

    It was great working with Joshua. The ladder he made is super solid and looks exactly the way I wanted. He was very helpful in the design process. We picked it up at his shop - hence no shipping. Very good value for money. I would work with him again.
