20th February 2026 – Members were busy either completing their Playhouse work or having free choice on subject and medium. Our next changeover at the Playhouse will include framed work inspired by the programme covers loaned to us.
6th February 2026 – Following on from last week’s demonstration by Jane Austin, members had a go at recreating Jane’s painting or choosing a subject of their own. It was a good morning where we could practice the tips and techniques Jane gave us.
23rd January 2026 – This workshop was led by Lynda, who brought in many examples of her own artwork depicting these fascinating creatures. Lynda also provided templates and ideas to help members to create their own artwork.
9th January 2026 – Janet led this first workshop of the year and as in previous years, selected a poem for members to paint – Jenny Joseph’s poem “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple”. Janet was brilliantly dressed as the character of the poem and members could either draw her or something from one of the pictures/books provided.
21st November 2025 – Carol, who organised and led this workshop, brought in books, magazines and some of her wonderful artwork to demonstrate the various techniques in using different sizes of charcoal. Carol also gave a short demonstration to help inspire members to create their own artwork.
