I don't get it!!! Your piece but made by Greg not hard to confuse me though!!!

What Brendan is saying is that he likes the piece

Yep, I agree; an ambiguous comment. What I meant to say was this bowl, made by Greg Coburn was one of my favourite pieces at AWTEx.

Hello so there must be other members on here who entered pieces why don't you post pics please.

Notwithstanding the 60 % increase in admission charge I went because I was able to get a lift to and from on the Friday morning.

Still don't like the new place especially the uncertainty and lack of suitable parking especially as the old venue is still operating and doesn't look like being renovated through lack of funding.

I have been previous years but wasn't able to scoot down this time - I hope it continues as it really is an amazing display of talent and artistry....I'll certainly be there in future years

There isnt enough room at the old venue.
I like the improvements the demonstrations
Are a plus as far as I am concerned.
Parking is pretty much an issue wherever you go these days.

I was there on Friday, first time going. I enjoyed it, especially seeing all of the pieces and talking to people.

How many of you entered and how many went. Would you enter the competition?
Cheers mick

I was there on Friday and Sunday, would have liked to meet any forum members that did attend. I didn't enter this year bot most likely will enter next year.

Jim

entered but never went, will probably enter next year and may do a day trip as I have never been.

That's great hughie. Would you like to post some pics of the pieces you entered please.
