David Jones was born in 1953. He graduated in Philosophy and Literature from the University of Warwick in 1974. He has been a Senior Lecturer in the Ceramics Department at the University of Wolverhampton, for the past fifteen years and is a Fellow of the Crafts Potter Association of England.
My work starts from humble origins, made from clay, and refers to millennia old traditions of containment and pot making. It is informed by the tradition named after the firing process - "Raku".
Hide information...
The work is thrown on the potter's wheel because that activity brings with it a quintessential pottery skill that is popularly associated with the medium. I use the marks of process left by throwing and turning the soft clay, before cutting the hard pot.
Raku ceramic pottery is a Japanese technique used since the 16th century. As soon as a red hot piece of ceramic is taken out of the kiln, it is placed in a container filled with sawdust that bursts into flames. The shrinkage of the raku glaze coupled with the thermic shock causes cracks that become black with the smoke. The piece is then air dried or put in water to set the design. It is the passage from the fire to air which determines the type, quantity and size of the cracks and the tone of the colours.
