'John Perceval, who was a member of both the Angry Penguins and the Antipodeans, had no formal training in art except for six months at the National Gallery School in 1949. A potter as well as a painter, Perceval helped Arthur Boyd and John Herbst establish the AMB Pottery at Murrumbeena in 1944 and from 1949 to 1954 concentrated entirely on the making of pottery.'
