President's Letter for February 2013

Hi All.

Oh dear! Another challenging month for the Association. Still no venue for our Annual Exhibition and a website that crashed on us. Despite this Mark Cowie is on track for another great exhibition at the International Flower and Garden Show. I would like to wish all the entrants success and enjoyment but please remember it doesn’t just happen. I am sure Mark would be happy for offers of help particularly in sitting the rosters. For those who did it last year I am sure you will agree it was a worthwhile experience and an opportunity to promote your work and meet fellow sculptors.

There are times when a website crash is a nuisance and times when it is just a total disaster. Imagine how Mark Cowie felt as the website went AWOL just as entries closed for MIFGS 2013 - not nice. If you can help Mark with the exhibiiton or Kevin Free with demonstrations please contact

From our February Meeting

The February Meeting was held on Wednesday 13th at the Baptist Hall in Ashburton. It was well attended with one visitor Jennifer Jeffrey and a new member Glenys McKenna, a limestone sculptor student of Jenny Whiteside. 

March Meeting - 13th March 2013

On 13th March at 7.30pm Dean Bowen will talk to us about this journey in painting ,printmaking and sculpture. His bronze sculptures are represented in many public and private collections.. His idiosyncratic sculptures combine humour and gentle irony but these proficiently cast works have helped him explore the world around him.
