Being his last stop on his Australian visit, it was, as expected, a fantastic day with well over 100 people attending the event. Hugh was signing his new book "A New Dawn" which brings the series on Moorcroft pottery right up to the present day. Plus he was over signing the "New Dawn" vase, and any other pieces purchased on the day. He was supposed to finish at 4pm but ended up leaving after 7.30pm. The whole crowd was impressed by his personal approach, spending lots of time with each person and writing almost mini essays in the front of each of their books. ***************************************************** As with the previous tours there was a vase up for grabs "Grace" 82/16"(valued at more than $3,000.00). All vase purchases over $200.00 were entered into the barrel for the Australian wide draw. Yes! It was one of our customers who won the prize again, making us a very lucky shop indeed. The winning ticket was drawn out of the box by Maureen Edwards at the end of our show, after a very long shuffle of coupons to ensure they were all mixed sufficiently.
