Russia

After a tough summer working two different jobs  ( commissions in the morning and teaching afternoons,) I am off to Penza in Russia to tackle a 2m high block of marble, my idea of a rest?  Well someone once said a change is as good as a rest, I suspect that someone was a slave driver and utter bathplug, but anyway I´ll test the theory.  The symposium is oganized Yury Tkachenko and Valentina Dusavitskaya, both of whom I worked next to last year in Lapidiales.  There are upward of 40 artists taking place and we have only 20 days to complete our pieces so watch this space and see if I survive it!
