Alan Watt was born in Melbourne and studied at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology for both his undergraduate (1962-65) and postgraduate (1973–74) awards. He was the Head of the Ceramics Workshop at the ANU School of Art from 1979 to 1998.
Watt is an important figure in Australian and international ceramics and has been artist-in-residence at a number of prestigious centres including the European Ceramic Work Centre, Heusden the Netherlands (1986); the International Ceramic Centre, Kecskemet, Hungary (1992); and the Glasgow School of Art, Scotland (1997). His work is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, most State Galleries, regional, institutional, corporate and private collections in Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia. Watt has been exhibiting in group and solo exhibitions since 1972 and was the subject of a major survey exhibition at the Canberra Museum and Gallery in 2003. In the late 1970s the artist moved to Tanja, on New South Wales’s far south coast.
