Thanks so much to everyone everywhere who has sent through such supportive and loving messages of congratulations. It’s funny where you find yourself ... Queens Birthday honours! I’ve always sought out groups of creative people who are doing what I want be doing and who support one another to follow their passions. Even though I love working alone in my studio, I’ve always belonged to a group or association. My early days in the batik and textile dyeing world, the 14 years as a member of the cooperative Inner City Clayworkers Gallery, and the last 15 years in The Australian Ceramics Association has fed my desire to keep learning new skills, to build valued friendships and to relish in the creative world of the visual arts. I am surrounded by so many wonderful people (my family, friends and the arts/ceramics community), how can this be work? I love what I do and how I spend my time. I feel loved and appreciated by all those who have sent messages, called and visited me since the OAM was announced on Monday. Thanks everyone!
Cheers Vicki
