Charles Fergus Binns

Charles Fergus Binns working on the potter's wheel. From ''The Potter's Craft'' (1910) Charles Fergus Binns (4 October 1857 in Worcester – 4 December 1934 in Alfred, New York) was an English-born studio potter. Binns was the first director of the New York State School of Clayworking and Ceramics at Alfred University, holding that position from 1900 until 1931.

His work included authorship of several books on the history and practice of pottery. Some of his more notable students included Arthur Eugene Baggs, William Victor Bragdon, R. Guy Cowan, Maija Grotell, Elizabeth Overbeck, and Adelaide Alsop Robineau. This has led Binns to be called "the father of American studio ceramics". Provided by Wikipedia
