Activities

Practical Sessions

We have a practical session on the first Friday of every month from 8.00 to 10.00 pm.

Bring along your painting gear and whatever you are currently working on, and enjoy two hours in a relaxed atmosphere with an optional tea break. We do not provide tuition but members are willing to help and advise if asked.

Demonstration Evenings on the third Friday of the month. From 8.00 to 10.00 pm.

Sit back, relax and watch a professional artist demonstrate aspects of their work, including oils, watercolours, pastels, etc.  During the tea break you have the opportunity to look more closely at the work in progress and also any other work the artist may bring along. Free to members but a charge of £7.00 to non-members.

Workshops: Held on a Saturday, 10am – 4pm with a tutor to lead, encourage, help and advise.  We aim to hold three of these each year. Please bring a packed lunch.  Tea and coffee will be provided.  There will be a fee for all workshops, currently £40 (£45 for non-members).

Days Out: During the summer months we arrange to meet up at various locations to spend a day sketching or painting outdoors.

Exhibitions: We arrange exhibitions for members to display and sell their paintings.  If you exhibit you will be asked to help with stewarding the exhibition.
