Halifax Art Society

Halifax Art Society have been asked by the Calderdale Music Trust to host a drop in sketching workshop on Saturday, 9th September 1pm – 3pm, at the Old Courthouse, Blackwall, Halifax.

Please come along and meet this talented group of people who will show you how to draw musical instruments and maybe colour in a stained glass window template. In our fancy dress corner there are props and costumes ready for you – try on a top hat and waistcoat, a bonnet and parasol, a mop cap and shawl or any combination. Thank you to the Halifax Junior Light Opera for loan of the costumes. Colouring sheets and pencils are provided.

25th August 2023 – Thank you again to Ilona for organising today’s visit to the allotments where a few of us enjoyed sketching outdoors.

Manor Heath Secret Garden

18th August 2023 – A visit was arranged to the secret garden in Manor Heath. Janet took many photos of the beautiful flowers in the park, and one little visitor! As it was a rainy morning, most of the members stayed in the Hall to paint a still life, a picture inspired from a magazine or to continue with their own project.

Garden Month – All Saints Church

18 August, 2023 Halifax Art Society

4th August 2023 – A visit was organised to sketch at the All Saints churchyard and garden. The weather was rather wet and drizzly, not ideal for outdoor painting. A few of us ventured out to the church to look at the gardens and cemetery, which was extremely interesting. Those who were at the Hall were busy painting flowers or working on previous subjects.
