Australian National University, School of Art, Distance Diploma in Ceramics In 2004 I took up my studies again. 
Due to the limited range of educational institutions in Perth, which offered learning opportunities in ceramics at that time, I applied for and was accepted into the Distance Diploma in Ceramics four-year course at Australian National University Canberra run by Janet de Boos.  The lecturers at ANU include several very well known successful ceramic artists, as well as some from overseas learning institutions of a similar level.  I am working on my final project for this course, which will include hand built and multiple fired work with several print on clay techniques employed throughout.
