Christine Binnie 'The Edge ' Beaker

£80.00

Handmade ceramic beaker created by Neo Naturist artist Christine Binnie to celebrate Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970–1990 exhibition at the Whitworth.

Inspired by Alderley Edge in Manchester.

Each beaker is glazed and the engraved using a technique call sgraffito. This is a form of decoration made by scratching through a surface to reveal a lower layer of a contrasting colour, done in slip on ceramics before firing.

As each beaker is handmade by Christine, please expect variations in size and shape to the images shown.

Christine Binnie is a ceramicist and performance artist, best known for her activity as a founding member of the Neo Naturists group. Together with her sister Jennifer Binnie and Wilma Johnson, Christine Binnie formed the collective in London in 1981, and created performances and appearances using body painting, found objects, art works and domestic items to create colourful subversive performance pieces. In addition to her performance art, Binnie creates ceramic artworks that explore themes that challenge political and social norms.
