Shigeo Shiga born in 1928 was a Japanese potter who studied
and worked in Japan before arriving in Australia in 1966 at the invitation of Les
Blakebrough to work at the Sturt Workshop in Mittagong, and then at the Talofa
Workshop in Sydney. He had a profound and lasting impact on the development of
Australian stoneware pottery. Following his time at Sturt, Shiga moved to
Sydney where he was employed by Peter Rushforth as a part-time teacher at the
National Art school. He also assisted Bernard Sahm in building his studio and
kiln and in 1972 established his own studio and kilns in Terry hills. In 1979
he returned to live in Tokyo but continued to hold occasional exhibitions in
Australia, and in 2009 returned to live back in Sydney. Shiga's works are held
by the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of NSW, the Powerhouse
