Members' Emails

Thanks to everyone who sent the enthusiastic emails:



An Email from Kevin Free


"A great exhibition, the best yet! For the first time ever in any art show I totally agree with the judges. Curators need a pat on the back, work was well placed and easily viewed. Standards are getting better and better. Sculptors are moving into new areas with different materials and techniques well handled. I feel that the Association is steadily fulfilling its charter and growing to more maturity with each exhibition.

For myself I am not producing much work these days and will be having an open weekend 19th -20th of November to sell off materials, mainly wood and stone, some tools and of course finished work, all welcome.

Jackie Mackinnon’s enthusiasm is unbounded - here is an email from her travels:

Hi There!

In trying to research many things sculptural in San Fransisco I came across this gripping doc’ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YQxxFeUrZjA  ... which many of you may have already seen (uTube, over 1 hr) but I was not able to switch it off!! Englishman Antony Gormley, is one of the most fascinating and incomplacent sculptors everrrr & I feel everyone could benefit watching & listening to this excellent documentary ... Hope you will ...

(There’s another doc from the Academy of Fine Arts/Sculpture covering a group of students who worked with the zoo here to create meaningful & entertaining works = great ideas, all.

Congrats to Everyone who put so much effort and fantastic organisation into the Annual, and to those who won prizes, or sold and most of all who participated! And thanks to Ken Free who made some very worthy comments in his email.

Regards Jackie M.

PS: Georgie Seccull please send your Gasworks Solo Exhibition details to Jenny Rickards for the ASV Newsletter and a photo or two - Sadly I don’t think I will be back in time, but goodluck... Last year’s inaugural ‘Organic Show’ was a-mazing and a well-deserved win!

(That same show included our last year’s guest speaker, Andrew Rogers’ photos of his international stone installations!)
