Today is the 7oth birthday of master confectionist Petrus Spronk.
On Sunday evening at The Hepburn Palais his bounty of friends and family celebrated a life of constant art and boundless generosity.
One of the best known works of Melbourne street art is by Petrus Spronk : Architectural Fragment (1992). His model for it was initially displayed in the window of a shop in Hepburn Springs.

Then there are those who know and appreciate his burnished Black Earth Studio bowls. In 2004 Petrus was commissioned to create a group of these from which one was selected as the official gift to the Dalai Lama after his teachings in Melbourne that year.
The bowl below, The endless horizon, the endless journey, was raffled at the Sunday night party and, typical of Petrus, the proceeds were donated to the Daylesford Dharma School.
