Pamela successfully completed her Associate Diploma in Ceramics at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in the 60's under the guidance of the then ceramicist Jack Night. 

​

In the 70's Pamela was living in Hurstbridge at the residence of Albert Tucker and his wife. They built her a large mud brick ceramic studio where she made large ceramic shapes often purchased by Architects. Later on Pamela purchased a house in St Andrews Victoria this is where the bulk of her work was made. Up until then Pamela had focused on more traditional forms however not for long as explained in the following quote:

 

"Giving birth to my daughter opened a new type of creativity for me. I no longer followed convention or even cared what anybody thought of my work I just felt an overwhelming urge to enter into a totally new domain of expression. It was as if I entered a different realm every time I walked into my studio. I began to make plaster moulds of all shapes and sizes and wanted to drape slip clay onto these weird and wonderful shapes. 

​

The enjoyment and satisfaction of watching myself do this was indescribable. Nothing like it had been seen in the ceramic field at that time and the result was the National Gallery of Victoria purchased a piece.
