John has been producing ceramics since the age of 12. Almost 30 years later, he has opened up his home studio and his studio at the Montebello Design Centre, in Cape Town, to provide a space for experimentation and innovation.
John’s focus in ceramics is on material engineering, and John will facilitate you developing your own unique ceramic technologies and scaling your production. His focus is on “embracing the noble catastrophe” as fertile ground for artworks forging new frontiers.
The residency includes:
A private room with ensuite bathroom and access to a communal kitchen in Cape Town, Harfield Village
Access to work space in both John’s home studio and his studio at the Montebello Design Centre nearby in Newlands
Access to 5 large electric kilns, a top loading kiln and two smaller test kilns
Access to a network of world-class ceramicists in Cape Town for networking and collaboration opportunities
