Froni Binns
Froni Binns uses the Nerikomi technique of staining clay and building patterns within the porcelain body. ('Nerikomi' is a Japanese word often used to describe this method).
The challenge of working with solid colour is a compelling process for Froni. Each time the Nerikomi block is finished and cut open gives a thrill of the unexpected. It is a process of precision and letting go to see what the clay will do.
Influenced by glass making, geometric abstraction and the natural world. Froni's work, while bold, has a softness from the polished, unglazed finish.
In 2023 Froni exhibited for the first time in 25 years, in a collaborative body of work with the legendary ceramist Garry Bish at the Bendigo Living Arts Space.
