Abstract
In 1998 I successfully supervised my first research student to completion, a Master of Arts (Fine Art) through a creative project, and commenced a creative doctorate in the same department in which I was employed as a lecturer. Although practiceled masters had been offered for several years, Ph.Ds. through practice-led research were in their infancy in Australia at that time and there was limited experience of supervising them. Supervisors would be colleagues and few had qualifications commensurate with the programmes being undertaken by the candidates they supervised. These early experiences of supervising and observing the progress of the nascent practice-led Ph.D. programme have influenced and guided my role as a supervisor of practice-led research degrees.
