Wayne's Fundraising Dinner

On Monday 26th July I staged a Chinese inspired Dinner and Quiz night to raise money to go towards my Jingdehzen Residency and China adventure. It was a great night, with over 100 people attending including Jessie Lumb and Georgia Gabrielle who are also recipients of the Helpmann Academy Pottery Workshop residency. The Helpmann Academy (quiz winners!), colleagues from the ceramics department of the Jam Factory and Lecturing staff from Adelaide College of the Arts were amongst the guests who braved a cold Monday night to show their support. My thanks to everyone who attended.
