The membership numbers 29 at present and there is room for a few more. New members would be welcomed. There is no level of experience required for entry, just a love of art. There is a wide range of age and experience in the Group … so friendly help is always on hand if required.

The sessions are usually “themed” and, although not compulsory (some have their own work to carry on with) most of us have a go at our version of the topic on the night, with some interesting results.

During the year we have several Demonstrations by well known Artists from the Southern Counties displaying their skill in a variety of mediums and methods. In the Summer months we have a schedule of Outside Venues to visit where we can draw, paint or just relax and take in the scenery.
