"Bruno’s Art & Sculpture Garden"
I read in the Potters' Society newsletter of a new book which is
fast becoming very popular with readers and has been added to
their Library...
Bruno’s home and art gallery were unfortunately completely
destroyed in the bushfire which raged through Marysville on the
7th February 2009.
The main attraction, the sculpture garden, has also been damaged,
but around sixty per cent of the sculptures have survived. Bruno
has chosen to stay in Marysville to rebuild his home and restore
the gardens.
This sounds like a book well worth buying, and even is a way to
help rebuild this project.
