NATIONAL EDUCATION PICTORIAL SURVEY
 
From the Editor: The materials that we work with hold a huge amount of meaning, but they also ask many questions. Our theme for this issue of The Journal of Australian Ceramics is MATERIAL EDUCATION, and our contributors have contemplated earnestness and value, materials, people, communication, and much more. We dive into education through embodiment, place, and technique, consider legacy and responsibility, trace our materials back in time and location, and look into algorithm changes. This issue also includes our national education survey. The question of who has access to ceramic education, where, and how, lingers. Accessibility and what we want for the future are important questions of our time.
