Forget Me Not
I am thinking about all the people who fought in any of the wars throughout the world. Also of their families who have been and are without their loved ones. Memorial Day helps us to remember but not to help us get beyond the wars. Here’s a tribute to all of those people. Gail Harker
The following is a note from an embroidered postcard given to me by Barry Taylor:
Feb. 24, 1916
I say, Jim, This is a hell of a concern. They’re killing men here, I got shelled the other day, and it’s not nice. I have been 3 times under Fritz’s influence. Bugger my Tam o Shanter, but things will have to end or I am hopping it, but they will not give me the complete sack, what do you think I am, an Iron Lancer? Do you know, you are as lucky as a Dog with 2 Tam o Shanters for to escape this. Well, never mind, I hope it will not be long before we are Bussing again.
Love to Nellie and children, Lloyd.

Experimental Research for
Advanced Design – Diploma Course
Class Name: Sapphires
We will be featuring work from the exhibition of multimedia art students who have been studying design at the Gail Harker Creative Studies Center for the past 18 months. The course challenges students to incorporate carefully considered elements of design into large scale projects. The techniques explored during this course prepared these students to express themselves in the media most appropriate to their unique artistic vision. Documentation through sketchbooks as well as Wall Hangings, 3-D items and Design boards were incorporated into their art work. Gail Harker

Advanced Design was never going to be an easy ride for me. Thanks to Gail and Penny I have gained confidence in my ability to take the germ of an idea into a research theme and then develop that theme visually in a wide variety of ways. Mapping discoveries truly describes my journey as I look back over the past two years. Jill
