I’ve known of John Shirley’s work for a while now and was pleasantly surprised that he was a reader of the blog. You’ve got to find some time to spend reading and looking at the gorgeous images of his work and process on his blog. He is a ceramist working in South Africa using Bone China. He makes beautifully delicate slipcast work which uses soluble metallic salts for the soft, yet vibrant, watercolor effect.
