"Peter and Gill graduated in Graphics in 1976, Peter Ffoulkes was the
boyfriend and later husband of Pam. I have lost touch with Gill who was my best
friend at one time. I believe Gill lives in Bath, married a doctor and was
commuting to London to work in graphic design for British Rail (prior to privatisation). *Are you out there Gill? I am also looking for Piers Carey, he had short dark hair, glasses, a short beard and played the
mandolin. I was never sure if he was actually a student or just a
local (his parents and sister lived about three miles away) but he was always
part of the gang. I used to see Ann Bradford a lot who was a ceramics student,
the last I heard of her was that she was living Wadenbridge in Cornwall but this
was many years ago." |

I
am now living and working in Sydney, Australia and Head of Postgrad at the
National Art School there. The site has prompted me to dig out some old photos. The first I came across was
this taken at Beechfield in the summer of 1973(?)... |
