2007 was my final year and for my Independent Work Project I worked on Teapots and Cream and Sugar sets. I decided to make 60, as I turned 60 in 2007. The teapots are in the Teapots for ANU course file. I travelled to Australia in June of 2008 and did a presentation on a Small Selection of Artists from Western Canada  at the Australian  National University in Canberra. It is in the Presentations file.
