I enrolled in an early term at the newly opened Potter's School in Warrandyte to study Stoneware and Raku with Reg Preston, Elsa Arden, Peter Laycock and occasionally Phyl Dunn.

​

After one year as a student, I was invited to join the team as "Hand Building Tutor". I was one of eight former students of the school to be invited to be permanent exhibitors at Potter's Gallery, eventually becoming co-director with other potters at the school. I have had many successful solo and joint exhibitions at the Potter's Gallery and continued to teach at the school until 1980, when I left to open Strawberry fields gallery in McAdam Square in Croydon.
