Congratulations to the group for an extremely successful year. We held a summer exhibition of over 80 paintings in Bredwardine; an autumn themed exhibition in Dorstone Front Room and currently have a small number of winter paintings to view in the village hall. This year we managed two full-day workshops from professional artists; a day of pastel painting with Trevor Osborne and one of oil painting with Mike Skidmore and have plans for more workshops in 2018. Ten of our members also enjoyed a great day out at the Nature in Art Gallery at Wallsworth Hall in Gloucester.  There’s plenty going on all year so why not join us at one of our regular Friday workshops, from 1:00pm until 4:00pm each week in the Red Lion Inn, which is our winter home. January dates are 12th, 19th and 26th. Bring your own materials but be inspired by what others are doing too. The art group operates on a drop-in basis; it costs £4 a week to join and this includes the cost of tea and biscuits. If you would like any further information about the group please contact Kari Lawson on 01981 501077 or Brenda Taylor on 07855 143048.
