After completing a science degree, Janet DeBoos studied ceramics
at East Sydney (National Art School) in 1970/71. Has taught

She

of barium glazes.

the processes that form it from clay, and those rituals that
reform it through use.

Anita
McIntyre
Anita studied ceramics at Canberra Technical College School
of Art, and has been teaching there (now ANU School of Art)
since 1973 in addition to serving as Sub Dean of Students
(SofA) since 1993. She exhibits regularly both locally and
interstate, is represented in public and private collections,
and in 1997 received the Canberra Critics Circle Award for
Visual Arts.
"My
current work is influenced by regular and extensive travel
to remote parts of Australia. The work has come to reflect
the harsh desert interior and "top end" landscapes. Reflections
and meditations provide an abstract imagery that evokes landscape
unseen but known, and recalls notions of observation, memory
and presence."

and technical approach to materials and firing. Gail makes
vessels with soft organic forms and lush dimpled glazes that
appear to ooze out of the clay itself. Her studio is located
