DAVID BINNS - Potter

For inspiration on glazing, different ceramics techniques and our relationship to the natural world, have a look at David Binns.

We’ve been researching different pottery making techniques and glazes this month and are feeling really inspired by David Binns. The techniques he’s using, his approach to colour, his philosophy towards making and his overall relationship with the natural world.

Having a strong emotional regard for the Japanese aesthetic principles of Shibui, Shizen and Fukinsei, I hope my work conveys aspects of these values: unobtrusive quiet beauty, a harmonious relationship with nature, spontaneity and an appreciation of asymmetry and irregularity.

In a world that seems to be increasingly fast paced and challenging, I feel the ever-increasing need to focus on quiet contemplative work.
— David Binns
