FREE SPEECH


Our blog is fairly new, we get few comments here.  I got one today, a snitty one liner deriding some work, sent by that infamous coward 'Anonymous'.  When I comment on people's blogs I reveal my identity and it is often a positive remark, constructive criticism or a technical question - which in turn opens an exchange of info. with the artist involved.   To quote Thumper's mother (in Disney's 'Bambi') I say 'If you can't say something good, don't say nothin' at all' - but that creates an imbalance of opinion, I get that.  I do say though, if you aren't being kind, helpful or useful - shut up.  There!  You've been edited!

BEANS THERE


We are still setting up at Heathcote - I only had my phone camera on me but these are some of Veronica McGrath's works .... they don't give credit to the surface textures and richness of colours she achieves in her multiple saggar firings but I expect to have much better pics to share soon.
