China auctioneer launches new art program

Heather Elgood says those who attend her class at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, include students in their 20s and even 70s.

The older students, she says, are usually bankers and lawyers, who have collected Chinese ceramics for years and want to learn more about them.

Elgood is the course director for postgraduate diploma studies in Asian art at SOAS.
