John Sheppard is a New York City-based ceramic artist. Originally trained as a graphic designer, John launched his ceramics practice at the legendary Greenwich House Pottery, and now works out of his private studio in the Bronx.
John’s work is characterized by clean geometric shapes, inspired by a range of influences including nature, Brutalism, Richard Serra, Art Deco, and outer space.
He forms and finishes each object by hand, ensuring layers of depth and texture, and often embracing irregularities rather than disguising them. The end result is a collection that feels of-the-moment, yet timeless.
