Art In The Sun

Join us in the wonderful surroundings of The Sun Pub on North Street, for an evening of art, conversation, and creativity.

Each month we meet and experiment with different themes and techniques. Recent sessions have featured watercolour and drawing pens, sculpting with air dry clay, a variety of printmaking techniques, and collage. Doug Shaw is your artist in residence and will be on hand to provide any assistance you might need. We usually work with a range of materials including ink, paint, drawing pens and more, and you will see how simple techniques can create dramatic effects. This session will start at 7.30pm and run through to around 9.00pm - with a bit of flex if you need some more time.

This month our theme is 'No Place Like Home'. You are invited to paint, draw, collage, a design of your choosing - anything that makes you think of home. It could be a Carshalton feature, or an idea from somewhere else that feels like home - it's up to you. I am inviting all of you to let me show your work in my art studio up at Oaks Park as part of the 10th anniversary Carshalton Artists Open Studios and Carshalton Festival. Once the art session is finished - you decide if you want to lend me your finished piece and I'll display it in a section of the studio devoted to community art.

Here's a lavender themed example I made - simple but effective. 

No experience is necessary, we welcome people of all abilities. The most important things to bring with you are your enthusiasm, and a willingness to try something new.

Tickets are just £19.50 and include all materials. If you want to bring a friend, there are a couple of special tickets available which admit two people for a total of £36. Grab a ticket, buy a drink, and we shall make some amazing art together.
