About Me

John Shirley: I've been working in ceramics since 1970. I am currently working in bone china with a variety of surface treatments, including cutting and piercing and also soluble salts. I currently run a number of ceramic programmes and workshops and lecture at the University of Johannesburg on a part-time basis. I am a member of the International Academy of Ceramics and am a fellow of Ceramics Southern Africa
