4th October 2024 – A welcome return from Dominic who gave an illustrated talk on the life and work of Gwen John. It was interesting to learn about Gwen’s wild lifestyle and how she was overshadowed by the artwork and big personality of her brother, Augustus John. Gwen was highly regarded as an artist and is known for her self portraits, domestic interiors (she was proud of the places where she lived) and portraits of other women.
27th September 2024 – We had a welcome return from Winston Plowes who talked through some short films of him and others working outside creating land art. He also showed stills of other works. Due to its nature, this unique artwork only has a short life. Winston supplied a lot of materials and members also brought their own that helped everyone to have an enjoyable and creative morning.
20th September 2024 – Members brought photographs of their favourite holiday memory and created an artwork in their choice of medium. It was a quiet morning that produced some picturesque landscapes and captured a few funny moments.
13th September 2024 – Many members were inspired by Annie’s talk and workshop last week and created their own work.
30th August 2024 – Following on from Claire Murray’s excellent workshop, many members had a go at the abstract techniques she demonstrated last week.
