Norman’s Friends.

Norman, an affable sort with a nose for value, a grasp of style and an eye on the zeitgeist, would like to slowly start to introduce some friends who may amuse, entertain and gladden your hearts. Hence the new ‘Friends of Norman, or FONs page, (and link in the sidebar).

A uniquely talented FON

The first in a long list of exemplary FONs is a ceramic sculpter, Anna Keiller.
