"I have heard Charles Bound compared to, and categorised
with, other potters who have chosen wood-firing as the medium to achieve their
work. That Charles uses fire and clay is undeniable, but the similarity ends
there. Charles pushes the materials to the limit over and over - both in his
handling of the clay and the repeated firing.
For me Charles Bound is an artist who happens to use clay and fire to achieve form and colour in the same sense that Tapies uses his native Spanish earth to make the concretions that are his paintings.
For those who can only see Charles Boundís work in the context of ceramics he has to be one of the very best we have." Anthony Hepworth
