To have your work accepted by a gentleman of his stature is indeed a great honour! and I quote... <br />"Since 1948 when Ken Stradling first joined the Bristol Guild of Applied Art he has been collecting twentieth and twenty first century crafts and has become an influential figure in the south-west of England - promoting good design and an appreciation and awareness of the best of crafts and the applied arts. <br />For 60 years he has sought out new and innovative works for the Guild's galleries and showrooms and created a fine collection of his own - a window on his particular interests in furniture, wood, glass and especially ceramics"<br />WELL DONE GEORGE!!<br /> <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714822332840880265.post-82977195566874044302013-05-04T13:32:20.887-07:002013-05-04T13:32:20.887-07:00Thank you John.
