President's Letter for June 2014

 

Hi fellow sculptors and friends,
I hope you are keeping warm and have not been too badly affected by the windy weather. It is a good job we have some exciting times to look forward to. The entry forms and membership renewals have been posted. Thanks to Jenny Rickards, John Ride and Jenny Whiteside for doing the necessary to get them to your post box. We have started advertising for the Annual Exhibition and awards and have several people who have kindly agreed to sponsor the exhibition. Some of you have already volunteered to help and I am very grateful. I hope we will see some more offers when your entry forms come back to me.


I am looking forward to seeing your work. Here is a nice warm quote for our wintry weather and to inspire us


The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

August Rodin


We had a great meeting this month when Jan Indrans gave us an interesting presentation of photographs and talk about his work. Thank you Jan it was well worth turning out on a cold night. Coming soon is a visit to Bulleen Art and Gardens and also a day time visit to a foundry. Our AGM will be in October when we also hope to have an interesting speaker. Wish the year wasn’t going so fast.



Happy sculpting,
Gillian Govan President
