david collins was first introduced to japanese pots of the kamakuri period (ad 1200-1336) during his training. this is pottery from the six ancient kilns; tokoname and shigaraki being the ones that influenced his work the most. these pots fired in a wood fired kiln had a simple rural beauty about them, often roughly finished or seemingly damaged by the firing process. david is one of these potters.
