Your residency. Your evolution. Your next artistic chapter.
John has been producing ceramics since the age of 12. Almost 30 years later, he 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 brilliance lies in his mastery of material engineering. Through his mentorship, residents are guided to develop their own distinctive ceramic technologies and discover pathways to scale their production. His philosophy – “embracing the noble catastrophe” -is fertile ground for bold artworks that forage new frontiers.

Applications for Fall 2026 – Summer 2027 are now open.
“Deeply rooted in our community, Starworks fosters meaningful connections between visiting artists and local makers, creating opportunities for exchange across education, professional practice, and studio development. Visiting artists are encouraged to meet, learn from, and work alongside potters from the Seagrove area—one of the oldest and largest pottery communities in the United States—gaining insight into a living ceramic tradition while contributing their own perspectives and skills.
Resident, Intern, and Guest ceramic artists at Starworks benefit from studio spaces located adjacent to the Starworks Clay Factory—an exceptional resource for artists interested in working with raw, locally sourced materials. This close connection allows artists to test, research, and develop their own slips and glazes using unprocessed regional clays. Starworks also offers custom clay blends upon request. Many artists are surprised by the range and beauty of these wild clays, each with its own distinct character and material qualities.”
