The Royal Hawkesbury and Easter Shows led to an impressive array of awards by SCAC tutors and members.
At the Hawkesbury Show, tutor Sue Gasser was awarded two first prizes including first in the Seniors section for her pastel ‘Morning Chores’ (below). Sue was also Best in Show at the Macquarie Towns Art Show on the first weekend of May. Member Carol McCabe took out first in watercolour and member Linda Hariady achieved across both shows in ceramics.
Also at the Hawkesbury Show, the centre’s Spinners and Weavers members had outstanding success with Evie Richardson, Glenda Prior, Jenny Egan (see photo), Monica Mowbray, Vickii Wilson, Robin Martin, Rita McKerrell, Linda Coffill and Susan Stephens winning first or second awards in their sections.
Evie Richardson, Linda Coffill and Susan Stephens took out an impressive five or six awards apiece – almost all first prizes in their categories of either spun fibre or fleece or the creation of handspun woollen items. A fantastic performance!
At the Easter Show, tutor Jenni Mills won first place in the scarf/shawl under 4-ply category.
And further to last blog, SCAC member Sarah Southall won the People’s Choice Award in the Katoomba Portrait Prize.
Congratulations all. A great effort!
