Letter from the President

Newsletter editor's quote for the month:

"To make sculpture can be as basic as this: you need a love of making things ... and when you have made work for a long time you can't just throw it together ... When you know how to do something properly, like playing a musical instrument - whatever it happens to be - you can't do it badly, you would be untrue to yourself ..." Geoffrey Bartlett

Mont Delancey Spring Festival

“ Hi Everyone,

Firstly, thank you for participating in the exhibition. The quality and standard of the art was amazing. I received many comments on what a wonderful exhibition it was and asking if this will be an annual event.

The inaugural Spring Festival at Mont Delancey was held on the 23rd and 24th in conjunction with the Art on the Hill. We had perfect weather for the event.

Jude Bridges and Heather Wilson helped by providing family friendly activities associated with sculpting. It was a great success.
