Winsham Art Club

 

Winsham Art Group was founded in 1960 by John Thirtle FRSA who offered free tuition for a year. He quickly surrounded himself with a dozen or so enthusiastic amateur painters. Interest grew rapidly, and in 1966 Winsham Art Club was formed, led by Tim Spilsbury.

From then on the Art Club established itself as a teaching club and has been an important factor in the development of many talented amateur artists.

Each year the club holds an exhibition of its members work, the first being held in 1962.

The club now holds regular workshops in most of the popular media, during its Autumn and Winter terms. Outdoor painting sessions are held in the Summer.

New members of all levels of ability are welcome. Indoor sessions are held in the Jubilee Hall on Monday afternoons.

2024-Spring Programme

 

For Kaye Parmenter’s workshop on Monday, 5th February, she will be leading us for a:

Warm up exercise - pine cones
Simple snow landscape
Wintery barn owl
And…maybe some snowdrops if we have time 

She asks that you bring all your watercolour paints and paper - the warm up exercise and landscape will be on smaller bits of paper - possibly a bit larger with the barn owl.
