Relevant Research - April 2022

Earlier this year we were pleased to announce our Excellence in Research awards for 2021. One award went Robert Cloughley, Thomas Lord and Pam McKinlay of the Dunedin School of Art, for their work curating a ceramics exhibition which provided a retrospective of the work of master potter Neil Grant, and publishing a beautiful book about him written by Peter Stupples. You can read more about both the exhibition and book on the Ceramics New Zealand website.

We hope you enjoy reading this month's issue of Relevant Research.
