To all members of New Plymouth Potters,
I am sad to send the news that Joyce Young, one of our
foundation members, passed away earlier this week.
As well as an innovative and original potter Joyce was a
wonderful pastel and paint artist and gardener to name but a few of her
talents. Her energy and enthusiasm for her many pursuits would be very
difficult to equal.
Joyce was an exhibitor in all 42 of our annual exhibitions
winning the last of the Puki Ariki Collection in 2003, a past president and
faithful attender of every AGM. She will be sadly missed by many.
Joyce has an impressive exhibit of three of her native birds
on rocks at our 2015 Annual exhibition at the J D Reid gallery at 33A
Devon ST West. Contributions of your memories of Joyce would be welcome
for our newsletter. Please send by reply.
Our sincere condolences are extended to her family .
Jan Pidwell
I am sorry to hear about Joyce Young.
ReplyDeleteI am a teacher at Opunake Primary and we are desperately trying to find a kiln we can use to fire our class project: the students have been making the game Cathedral at of clay. If you know of somewhere that is available for public use...with some expert help, as I have limited knowledge, we would be very delighted. Some of their work has shown some great talent too!
