Peter Rushforth commenced training as a potter in 1946 at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He continued his studies at the National Gallery School in Melbourne and then at the National Art School in Sydney. A former Head of the Ceramic Department at The National School in Sydney, he has travelled extensively in the UC, Denmark and the USA on a Churchill Fellowship and has spent time working in Japan. Since 1978, when he retired from teaching, he has worked full-time as a potter.

His work is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, State and Regional Galleries as well as in private collections throughout the world.
