About John
John came from New Zealand in the early 70's to study music at Trinity College of Music, London but always continued his love of ceramics by attending night school classes. After graduating from Goldsmiths College John decided to experiment with porcelain and this has continued to develop over the years.
Biography Back to top

John's work could be titled as 'Threads of Colour' as he uses porcelain that has been coloured. These colours are introduced to the main porcelain body at various stages in the making process. His work can be paralleled with a live music performance where the performer can embellish a piece at a whim, therefore creating a 'one-off ' performance. Each of John's pieces is a 'one-off'.
