10th March 2010: ASV Monthly Meeting: Jim Howson will come to the meeting and talk about his journey in Sculpture. “My work is a unique blend of three dimensional and skeletal appearance that draws out the essential qualities of steel and timber, producing an effect of changeable rhythms and free movement which is reinforced from different view-points.” Jim will be travelling from Geelong so it would be good to have a full house. See his website www.jimhowson.com.au

Rome: Galleria Borghese, Vatican, Capitoline Museum
Florence: Uffizi Gallery, Accademy Gallery
Venice: Peggy Guggenheim Collection

Future Activities: Repeating the previous newsletter note, Gillian has received some interesting suggestions for activities.
1. History night- We have some interesting members who could tell us about the origins of the association; about some of the early members and the origins of our awards and sponsors. Photos and talk about past exhibitions
2. More visits to studios and workshops so if anyone has any suggestions or offers I will try to arrange.
3. An information night on techniques: An interesting idea needing planning. Include safety issues
4. Venue: It was suggested we find a venue nearer the Bay. Any one prepared to do some scouting?
5. Bartering and swap meet: Unused tools, books, materials, memorabilia, Could be fun!
Another suggestion was to have a for-sale and wanted section and a question and answer section in the newsletter. More suggestions and offers to help are very welcome. … Gillian Govan
