Porcelain Artist R. Janette Graham: resume

R. Janette Graham

I am a self-employed porcelain artist, craftsperson, author, and part-time librarian. My main interests are writing, china painting and jewellery making; special projects may also include paper making, marbling and calligraphy on porcelain. All of my work is original, and nowadays I do most of my designing on computer.

I have participated in exhibitions, won prizes for my work, and had several articles and stories published. The following resume lists my exhibitions and prizes, published articles and references.
