Next year is shaping up to be an interesting year:
Herring Island Exhibition 30 January – 14 February 2010: Entries by 11 December 2009. Information to be issued shortly and can be downloaded from ASV web site. Sub-Committee of Helpers wanted: apply Jenny.
10th February2010: Monthly Meeting: Jenny Whiteside has kindly agreed to open her studio to us: Jenny is a figurative sculptor in stone “Always fresh and original, Jenny’s works are full of passion, extremely tactile, and unmistakably unique;” see her website at: www.jennywhiteside.com. It should be an interesting and fun evening
Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS): 23 March – 28 March 2010. Information to be issued shortly and can be downloaded from ASV web site. Sub-Committee of Helpers wanted: apply Patrick.
10th March 2010: Monthly Meeting: Jim Howson will come to the meeting and talk about his journey in Sculpture.“My work is a unique blend of three dimensional and skeletal appearance that draws out the essential qualities of steel and timber, producing an effect of changeable rhythms and free movement which is reinforced from different view-points.” Jim will be travelling from Geelong so it would be good to have a full house. See his website www.jimhowson.com.au
14th April 2010: Monthly Meeting: Our president Geoff Williams will talk to us about classical and abstract sculptures seen in travels to Italy and Netherlands. Details later
Future Activities: At our last very successful social evening I received some interesting suggestions for activities.
1. History night- We have some interesting members who could tell us about the origins of the association; about some of the early members and the origins of our awards and sponsors. Photos and talk about past exhibitions
2. More visits to studios and workshops so if anyone has any suggestions or offers I will try to arrange.
3. An information night on techniques: An interesting idea but would need some planning. Include safety issues
4. Venue: It was suggested we find a venue nearer the Bay. Any one prepared to do some scouting?
5. Bartering and swap meet: Unused tools, books, materials, memorabilia, Could be fun!
6. Life drawing class to be held early next year if interested contact Gillian Govan gmps.govan@bigpond.com. We had a successful session last year
Another suggestion was to have a for-sale and wanted section and a question and answer section in the newsletter. I think it’s a great idea but first we need a newsletter editor. Any offers? . …
