This week sees the opening of his exhibition “Georgian Enamels (Piecing Together A New Narrative)” at Bantock House Museum in Wolverhampton. The exhibition runs until August 9th, for more information please click here

For the exhibition, John collaborated with project curator Helen Steatham and together they worked with the public to reinterpret the museum’s Georgian enamel fragments through a series of handling sessions that John then used as starting points for his new collection of satirical enamel objects.
