Yes thought from the beginning that it was A wonderful story . and was
so pleased when both the Finnished work as well as The Written
material came to be shown.
It also made My initial Insistence that all graduates should be
encouraged To produce a personal fiinishing work , Followed with an
Elborate written material , where both the sources and the work
Techniques were discussed .BE Understood all those teachers and the
inspector who opposed it .
This young woman told me this work had a Positive impact on her , She
understood She Could do Both handwork and mental work .
I was so pleased to hear this.
In the exhibition I will include ashort version of the story On the
wall ,
