Dear Brian, if you have time - and for convenience, wheels -
please come out to the Design Centre, Enmore and prepare to be
(at the very least) impressed by the standards to which our
Jewellery Trade apprentices and students are designing and
making.

Our graduates will be in the last stage of preparation for their
exhibition which opens on the 27th November at the Design Centre
Exhibition Space. Although it will be full-bore frantic, I would
be delighted to show you over what has to be Australia’s premier
design school.

I do not say this lightly. The Design Centre is the most modern
TAFE college of its kind. We work with all manner of design
related people, from international award winning jewellery
designers to special effects experts from Silicon Graphics.

I might add that this invitation extends to any visitors from
Orchid. Let me know, Brian, if you are able to fit us in to your
itinerary and I’ll send more details.

Kind regards, Rex Steele Merten (aka Rex from Oz)
