Working with her hands has been a way of life for Neita, after completing a Gold and Silversmithing degree at RMIT she went onto work in Melbourne, London and Capetown before settling back in Australia. After retiring Neita took up ceramics which had been her first love when studying. Now she is able to focus on the many aspects that working with clay has to offer, from making both everyday functional ceramics to the more decorative ceramics and sculpture. Neita also enjoys drawing and painting when she gets the time.
