The Andrew Verster Colouring-in Competition
is currently running at Artisan Gallery. Having as its inspiration the drawings
from Andrew Verster's delightful book, it has turned out to be a tremendous
event, with such a buzz of enthusiasm and creativity as participants from all
walks or life rediscovered the therapeutic joy of colouring-in and doodling.
“There has been a steady flow of visitors
coming to admire the widely divergent approaches,” says Ingrid Lotter Smith,
Artisan’s owner. “Several participants mentioned that they have not ventured
into any form of art since childhood. In fact one of the participants, Anita
who lives in Gauteng, had her work couriered here, and she and her husband
specially drove to Durban to join us at the opening.
Both Andrew Verster and Rick Andrew, the
two judges, were delighted with the high standard of the interpretations.
Artisan pays tribute to all participants
and sponsors for their generous support of this fund-raising event.
The winners included: Nicole Pletts (Spectrum Voucher); Kyle Loveridge (Village Hardware
Voucher); Debi Frizelle (Freedom Cafe Voucher), and Johanni Ackermann (Spectrum
Voucher).
Featured participants were Deirdre Schoultz; Anne Cleveland; Janet Noot; Nola Mitchell; Sharon
McClelland; Karen Bradtke; Anita Govan; Sandra Hogg; Michelle de Lange; Anthea
Martin; Stephen Milborrow, and Ann-Marie Nason.
The finalists are requested to collect
their vouchers from the gallery when they collect their work. All work is to be
collected on June 31, between 09h00 and 13h00 unless other arrangements have
been made.
“We have had so many requests for
additional copies to be printed of Andrew Verster’s Colouring In book that we
have started an order list,” adds Ingrid Lotter Smith. “If the limited edition
was sold out before you obtained your copy BOOK NOW! If we receive sufficient
orders we will reprint an additional 100. The cost per book is R250. We will
contact you for prepayment as soon as we have sufficient orders. You can email
