• John's porcelain tile panels feature carefully placed, gradating hues
• He works with traditional techniques and digital tools, such as laser cutting
• He developed his own emulsion technique on clay

John Bauer creates porcelain tiles, panels and bowls imbued with his unique creative vision, insight and expressive spirit. He integrates technology with techniques from other mediums, such as Italian glass millefiori, coin minting and bronze casting, with traditional ceramic processes such as atmospheric firing and mosaic. John has also invented his own 'dioroidal printing' technique, an emulsion process that captures ambient images directly into the clay body. He has great love for permanent public art. "I desire to do more of this, to send my murals around the world, like love letters from Cape Town," John says. "I hope people might see in them the textural richness of my city and be inspired to visit it."
