On Saturday 16 August at 14:30, Friends of the South African National Gallery will host a visit to the studio of ceramacist-with-a-difference, John Bauer of Harfield Village.

Using a wide variety of techniques and materials, from lace and feathers to plants and skin - as well as an unfettered imagination - John creates beautiful, innovative items. His porcelain works, largely inspired by techniques used during China’s Song Dynasty, can be found amongst the collections of such far-flung institutions as the William Humphrey’s Art Gallery, Kimberley and the Cobalt Museum, Norway.

The event costs R40.

Enquiries: Lizzie 021 467 4662 (Tue-Thu 10:00-14:00).
