Setting up the First Exhibition

It didn't rain - it was fun and now it's ready for the opening:

Before the 2012 Festival

As we work towards the Festival it's sometimes good to reflect on the other groups who have helped make Herring Island into a bushland retreat. Friends of Herring Island were working there today - Sunday 8th January - and the place is looking great - so welcome to some background clips of sleepy Herring Island.

Opening the Ceramics Victoria Exhibition

The weather was very unkind to Ceramics Victoria - in fact a lot of people in Victoria had it seriously bad on Friday evening the 4th and Saturday 5th February. The river was running high and people were busy coping with the results of flash flooding. So the beautiful exhibition had to wait a day to open. Unfortunately the sponsor, Decal Specialists, couldn't be there - but the prizes were announced:

Highly Commended "Out of Earth VI" by Sharyn Masson

Prize Winner Lene Kuhl Jakobsen with "Earthly Gifts"

Sharyn Masson's "Out of Earth VI" was the runner up and Lene Kuhl Jakobsen's "Earthly Gifts" won the Decal Specialists Prize.

Robert Lee was able to snatch an interview with Yvonne Torrico, to talk about the work she has on Herring Island.
