Claire Fairweather missing artwork!

Unfortunately one of our members in the North Island member's exhibition "Anything Goes" has had one of her artwork's stolen. Claire Fairweather's brooch ironically titled "Anyting Goes" was taken from the Bruce mason centre and has had an article published in the local paper about the incident. We wish her all the best in locating her missing artwork and at least she knows someone appreciates her artwork!
