Hi every one,
as mentioned in my last contact,my grand daughter had a request for me to attend and display at her school art week, which was very interesting as the pupils were really interested in the art form of carving,and to help thing along a member of the wood turners club was doing his bit as well,on the lath so in all it was a good day.
Later in the month I also put a show on for Timaru Boys High School for their Art week and was first told that we would have 15 lads who were keen to learn about the art of carving, but on the day had 32 students in the class, this also went very well, managed to hold their attention for 3.5 hours.
I covered the different forms in the art, they did some drawing in the form of design, then finished the morning of by doing some 3D carving with cakes of soap, with plastic knifes ,so nobody was injured and nobody died
So now with a little clear window in front of me at the moment, I may manage to get back into the studio , and put some of my thoughts into some wood, as all-though I have been sitting on my hands of late ,the idea's keep coming, which in one way is a good thing, I've just got to find it in a piece of wood.
So until I tickle the keys again keep safe, and will catch up later.
Regards Ken.
