David Binns

Born: 1959, UK, England, Cheshire

Ceramicist. He was initially interested in architecture, and studied 3D design at at Manchester Polytechnic. Prefering to handle materials, at first he rejected working with clay favouring the stability of wood. However, he learned how to throw, and developed an interest in traditional Japanese architecture, which influenced his work. He worked initially in raku, but in the 1990s developed a significant new body of work - varying configurations of mechanically inspired pierced platter and vessel forms. Binns has his studio in Denbigh, North Wales and teaches at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston.
