Yep, I've met Chris Wynne who runs that course, and I was looking to do his course when he travels down to Tassie once a year, however things have worked against me for the last couple of years, and when I was finally ready to drop the money, Chris is not coming to Tassie this year, as he has a lot of overseas commitments this year. I'll see how I go with this course in the Gold Coast, and if I enjoy it enough, I'll knock on Chris's door again.
I highly recommend a visit to Monsalvat, fantastic place.

Awesome! It's amazing how we never visit places nearby, but travel for hours to see another towns attractions!
We called in when on a mainland trip a couple of years ago. Unfortunately Chris wasn't there that day, as it was between Xmas and New Years.
The cafe there does a mean Iced Chocolate!

I hope they're going to recess that. It's a bit.....chunky. How rude of me!

It's superb artistic skill and quite amazing, just not along my likes. I've noticed BG your taste definately runs along those lines.

That makes two of us BG. I would ove to do something similar, and then fill it with a clear acrylic or epoxy to prevent sleeves from snagging or dust accumulation.
