Wellington last week was dominated by Hobbits including a Hobbit Artisan Fair with Elfin weaving, Wizard treats and
Goblin snow freeze to go. We even had Barry (Edna Everage) Humphries telling us
“Peter Jackson has turned Wellington into the artistic capital of the Southern
Hemisphere." (thanks Barry, good to know)
Fortunately Jeweller Karl Fritsch (we
suspect not entirely innocently) ended the week on a high note by setting up
his own fair in the Hamish McKay Gallery on Saturday. Cadging work from friends
and artists Fritsch assembled a candelabra themed show that also included a few of his own
brilliant free wheeling efforts. (Thanks Karl).
