The Annual 3D miniworks exhibition and competition opened in the ceramics building on Thursday with special guest Kathleen Von Witt, Director, Hawkesbury Regional Gallery, giving generously of her time and expertise in coming to judge the show. Kathleen awarded a $200 first prize to Saul Munro, for his piece "Temple Dancer", which she praised for its' "sheer exuberance and joie de vivre." Kathleen also selected a record 16 finalists from nearly 90 entries on display. These finalists will have the opportunity of showing their pieces at the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery next month, in a small show that will coincide with a suite of sculpture shows the Gallery will have on offer.
