The Wallsworth Art Group will be restarting its programmes on Wednesday 17th May. We will be joined by Chris Sinden and Jackie cox, two artists who work together. Chris is a printmaker and Jackie works in a variety of media from pastel and watercolour to scraperboard. They will talk about their latest projects.
The Wallsworth Art Group meets throughout the year to enjoy a programme of evening demonstrations, films, talks, practical art workshops and other events. It is open to all. There is no selection procedure to join the group or to take part in its annual exhibition. Some members are very new to art and others have enjoyed art practice for many years. The group aims to be all-inclusive and to provide a stimulating, encouraging and non-judgemental environment where people can learn about and explore different aspects of art and art techniques.
Meetings are held on the first Monday (excluding bank holidays) and third Wednesday of each month in the evening. Each evening starts at 7pm and lasts for an hour or so.
Guests pay £3 per evening, otherwise meetings are free to members who pay an annual fee to join. To become a member in 2023 it will be £15 until the end of the calendar year. Some evenings may incur a small extra charge for, for example, special materials or a model. Non-members are welcome to come to any meeting without booking.
If you are not a member and would like information, please send us a message.
£3 per child, adults go free. No need to book.
Buzz on over this Easter Monday for a hive of fun with arts and crafts, an exciting activity trail, bee-tastic learning, and a sneak peek at our observation beehive where you can see the bees hard at work inside the hive!
We’ve got two drop-in sessions: 10am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-4pm. Join Laura, our artsy education officer, for a whirlwind of creative crafts! Plus, let your little explorers roam free on our activity trail around the garden. And don’t miss the chance to peek into our beehives and chat with our bee guru, Brian – recently returned from a trip to West Africa to teach people how to keep bees.
Need a bite to eat? Our Coffee Shop will be buzzing with tea and cake! Or, feel free to pack a lunch and chill in our outdoor picnic paradise.
