Art Workshops (Chargeable members and guests)
Periodically we hold one-day Saturday workshops. These are led by professional tutors and in the past have covered oils, watercolour and mixed media. Places are for members and their guests as available.
Life Drawing Workshops (Chargeable and Open to non-members)
We also hold 6-monthly life drawing sessions. These are usually 4-hour sessions held on a Saturday in Hastoe Village Hall. They are with one/two models, depending upon numbers, and no tutor. They are for members as well as chargeable and open to non-members. Places are limited and available on a first come, first served basis.
During the winter months, we organise informal drawing evenings with professional models for members to draw or paint. Winter drawing evenings are for members only and are held in St Peter’s Court House, Berkhamsted. Numbers may be limited due to restricted space and members must bring their own drawing equipment. These are included with the membership fee.
Summer Drawing Events for members are held outdoors commencing in May through to August. Dates, Venues and Contact details are listed under the Programme section as we approach the month of May.
